The Nets are getting hit with the price of a little success, sooner and harder than expected. They have lost the fourth coach/executive this summer, as Gianluca Pascucci leaves for Minnesota.
The agreement — first reported by ESPN and confirmed by The Post — continues a brain drain on the Nets’ front-office staff.
Coach Kenny Atkinson had credited Pascucci, the Nets’ director of global scouting, with finding second-round steal Rodions Kurucs.
Brooklyn had braced to lose Pascucci in a return to Italy, reportedly a candidate for the general manager job at Olimpia Milano. Instead, the Nets lost him to an assistant GM job in Minnesota, where he’ll be reunited with newly hired President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas.
