Suns woulda won the ring if big shot bob didnt goon up. Lets not take that season away from pringles cuz of that tomfoolery. That season validated the pringles system whether u like it or not..will it work with the lakers is another question..I dont think they have as much talent as that Suns team top to bottom, yet they certainly have enough that his coaching should "work". He has an italian rapport with kobe, has been successful with nash, and can utilize dwights athletic advantages over his peers. I think paus game might stay the same or so. All in all, better than mike brown, who needs a defensive team with an iso offense. Kobe too old to be centerpiece of an iso and he has too much talent on the roster to do that and keep people happy.
