The Brooklyn Nets arrived ahead of schedule in 2018-19, improving from 28 wins the previous season to 42 victories and a playoff berth. Now, the organization is paying a toll as rival clubs are picking off members of the organizational team that helped that process.
The run on coaching and front office talent has seen G-League Coach of the Year Will Weaver, assistant coach Chris Fleming, assistant general manager Trajan Langdon and, most recently, director of global scouting Gianluca Pascucci depart Brooklyn for promotions elsewhere.
Weaver was the first to move, accepting a position in March to become the head coach for the Sydney Kings in Australia’s National Basketball League.
