Think about all these changes in roster, trades, draft choices, etc as part of a whole, a plan designed by a retiring coach Pop to present his successor with lots of options for the future with the underbrush on the roster cleared away. These moves may not be finished, but I think we see the outline "through a glass, darkly."
The new head coach will be Brett Brown. Sure he just came on and no formal announcement has been made about the promotion to head coach, but who is Pop's best friend, accolyte, with some head coaching experience, and familiar with the franchise and team culture. TA DA! Brett Brown.
Look at the pertinent info frin Wikipedia.
After attending a basketball camp run by Brown and Andrew Gaze (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Gaze), San Antonio Spurs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Antonio_Spurs) general manager R. C.
