Blazers Strengthen Front Office with Two Key Additions
The Portland Trail Blazers are excited about their latest additions to the front office. Over the past few years, the team has done a solid job building its roster, and it seems that general manager Joe Cronin now has a clearer vision for the team’s future.
Despite this progress, some questions remain, including whether the Blazers have an All-Star caliber player beyond Damian Lillard. The front office continues to address this as they work towards shaping the team’s direction.
As part of their ongoing efforts to improve the organization, the Blazers have made two significant hires from within their own history. Former players Terry Porter and Brian Grant are joining the front office in new roles, according to The Oregonian. Porter will serve as a scout, and Grant will take on the role of basketball liaison, both helping introduce the players to the inner workings of the front office. The Blazers are thrilled to welcome back two familiar faces who are eager to contribute to the team’s future.
Porter spent the first ten years of his NBA career in Portland, helping lead the team to the NBA Finals, while Grant played three seasons for the Blazers in the late 1990s.
Blazers Eyeing Future Playoff Success
The Blazers are hopeful that these former players can help guide the team toward becoming a legitimate playoff contender in the near future. However, Portland is still in the process of solidifying its identity.
While the Blazers are a few years away from being a serious championship contender, they are looking to get Lillard healthy and continue the development of their young core. The team’s goal for the current season is to make the playoffs and give their younger players valuable experience before Lillard returns to full health. This will be a challenging task, especially given the strength of the Western Conference.
