or even very good.

The reality is that they were likely not going to be that regardless & there's plenty of evidence to support that claim (including the fact that their two best players were there for the whole season).

They were thin due to the way they were structured, brittle for the same reasons, horrible defensively & didn't ever find a way to play in a way that served any of their best players' strengths offensively except Pau in the Brown period & Kobe in the rest of it.

I don't give this group points for persevering or trying, this is the Lakers.

This season was a shitshow, regardless of whether they snuck past the Jazz at the end.
