Despite a finals appearance in 1991, the early 1990's were quiet until, during the 1996 offseason, the Lakers signed Shaquille O'Neal and rookie Kobe Bryant.
With the hiring of Phil Jackson as head coach in 1999, the team quickly returned to championship form. Led by O'Neal, Bryant, and a talented team behind them,
the Lakers went on to win three consecutive NBA Finals from 2000-02. Most recently, however, the Lakers have endured a series of off court problems, mainly due
to problems between Bryant, O'Neal, and Jackson. In 2004, Shaquille O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat and Coach Jackson temporarily retired. With a
lackluster 2004-05 season, Jackson returned for the following season, and the Kobe Bryant-led team returned to the postseason, but lost to the Phoenix Suns
in the first round in both the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons. The 2006-07 season saw the Lakers finishing 42-40 in Jackson's worst record of his entire coaching
career. In the off season, rumors were wild that Kobe Bryant had requested to be traded. The trade did not happen however a massive trade came on February 1, 2008
when the Lakers sent center Kwame Brown, veteran Aaron Mckie, guard Javaris Crittenton, the draft rights to Marc Gasol, and two first round draft picks in 2008
and also in 2010 to the Memphis Grizzlies for Pau Gasol, along with a second round draft choice in 2010. | LOS ANGELES LAKERS CAREER AVERAGES | ||||||||||||||||

Philip Douglas "Phil" Jackson (born September 17, 1945 in Deer Lodge, Montana) is a National Basketball Association (NBA) coach and former player.
He is tied with the late Red Auerbach for coaching a record number of NBA title-winning teams, with nine, and has one of the best
post-season records. Jackson is one of three head coaches, aside from Alex Hannum and Pat Riley to win the NBA Finals with two different
teams. He is known for employing the triangle offense ballplaying scheme as well as a holistic approach to coaching players, influenced by Eastern
philosophy, notably Zen. The latter is the source of his sports media nickname: "The Zen Master". He is considered by many to be one of the greatest
NBA coaches of all time. Some will add that he also had the good fortune to get a Bulls team with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen (constructed by Jerry Krause);
and then after that stunning success, got another great opportunity with the Lakers (understandably at that point and delivered again).
