He is obviously the second piece in the Lakers’ Big Three, a trio required to compete for a championship, a triumvirate that is one player short.

I’m not saying that is necessarily the holy triumvirate.

The crouton may reach its pinnacle of simple greatness in a Caesar, as one-third of the triumvirate — including anchovy-rich, creamy dressing and Parmesan — joining forces to make mere romaine amazing.

This is, however, just one of the shared aims of the tough triumvirate.

The triumvirate created one of the most successful dynasties in sports and the third most valuable franchise, worth an estimated $7 billion.
