How the Trail Blazers will improve in the offseason (w/ Eric Griffith)

Eric Griffith (@EricG_NBA) of Willamette Week is back on the show to dive deep into the Portland Trail Blazers offseason and how the franchise can improve with the assets they have available.

We start with some positivity talking about reasons for optimism around the team and why the midseason salary dumps might end up useful heading into the offseason.

We discuss the Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons pairing and the strengths and weaknesses of Portland's backcourt duo. What needs to happen to maximize Dame and Ant and how the Blazers can move forward with another high scoring, but undersized guard tandem.

We close the show talking about big picture success. What does a "good" offseason look like and will Blazers GM Joe Cronin be patient enough to build a winner incrementally even with the pressure to be competitive right away.
