Yes, Pop is an outstanding coach, but It's all about team play, coaches and players must always be in sync.

Spurs made a wrong decision.

San Antonio Spurs trade Kawhi Leonard to Toronto Raptors for DeMar DeRozan, others

Leonard is a special player, while DeRozan is good but inconsistent, this is one of the big mistake the Spurs made in their franchise.
If they have traded Leonard to someone else, a star of course, Spurs might still has a good chance to be in the playoff spot now.

If my memory serves me right, it was Kawhi who want the trade to happen as soon as possible.
After that, the locker room news became viral which we don't know if is accurate or not.

DeRozan was a star back then but yes, he was inconsistent.
I think it was the lack of option for Spurs to where they could trade Kawhi which is why they ended up getting DeRozan.
But this is not the Spurs problem. They are hit hard when their stars got old and needs to retire.
Pops can still do it, but he lacks the right pieces to make it happen.
