The Los Angeles Lakers have not achieved their goals during the 2018-19 NBA season and despite dealing with a ton of injuries, head coach Luke Walton has shouldered the blame.
Walton was not only forced to deal with injuries to all of his key players but in the second half of the season, he was also forced to manage a roster full of players that knew the Lakers were openly willing to trade them for Anthony Davis.
The Lakers did everything they could to acquire Davis before the trade deadline. However, the New Orleans Pelicans were reluctant to trade him to his desired destination though and instead held onto him until the offseason.
