Buchanan will once again be working for Rich Cho, who was the GM in Portland in 2010 until being fired less than a year later. Shortly, Michael Jordan hired Cho to run basketball operations for Charlotte.
Earlier this offseason, the Blazers decided to part ways with NBA Scouting Director Michael Born.
