1. His age and his history of severe back problems even with the Suns' training staff working miracles would have given any competent franchise pause before trading any picks at all for him
2. Easily predictable based on Kirby's track record of running off big men that have carried him
3. The "Laker way" is obsolete in the new CBA and has brought the Lakers into the abyss of tanking
4. There was no need to trade for Coward at all, you ended up trading an injured knee for an injured back and the season went about as expected (ignoring the Media hype)
You're going to have to try harder than that,
