I always liked Eddie Jones and just learned him and Jalen Suggs and Tyrese Halliburton are cousins.

Coaching mattered. Soon as we got Phil we 3-Peated. Along with the maturation of Shaq & Kobe

Youth and inexperience. The jazz and spurs were worthy opponents

This squad is why I am a Lakers fan.

Nick the quick baby. One of my favorite Lakers ever.

I highly recommend the Jeff Pearlman book ‘Three Ring Circus’. The main focus is the Shaq-Kobe-Phil era, but the book covers the post Showtime rebuild era too. Basically that whole team wasn’t ready to win. They all had conflicting insecurities, goals, and egos. Jerry West had to flip the roster and bring in strong veteran players.
Loved that team tho. Nick + Eddie will always be Lakers to me.

Too young. Eddie and a Kobe was too redundant and unbalanced on the floor at the same time. Nick put Up stats, looked good doing it but didn’t lead to many wins. And of course, coaching.

Eddie Jones was my guy!
Too much ego.
