An Update Regarding Gianluca Pascucci

We have an update regarding Nets executive Gianluca Pascucci.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter, the Minnesota Timberwolves have reached an agreement with Pascucci for him to become their next assistant GM. Pascucci will serve under new head of basketball operations Gersson Rosas. This move comes on the heels of the Wolves deciding to retain interim head coach Ryan Saunders.

Pascucci held the job of director of global scouting for the Brooklyn Nets and had been viewed as a candidate for multiple positions around the league, including being an option for promotion for the Nets after assistant GM Trajan Langdon left for the Pelicans. But instead of staying with the Nets, Pascucci will reunite with Rosas, whom he worked for in the Rockets front office before joining the Nets in 2016.

While a terrific hire for the Timberwolves, it's another blow for the Nets front office. Aside from Langdon leaving, the Nets have also lost assistant coaches Chris Fleming and Will Weaver. So it is clear that the Nets will have to fill those voids, whether from within or from outside the organization.

Pascucci has also received consideration for a position with a EuroLeague club Pallacanestro Olimpia Milano before ultimately joining the Timberwolves.
