This is beyond me. This incompetent muppet takes Ingram out of the game with 4 minutes left in the 3rd, however, he was by far the best offensive option for them. Then he take out Kuzma too, and both still out with 3 minutes into the 4th quarter. During this stretch the Lakers are without an FG.
and ever since then Ingram got ice cold, Kuzma wasn't hot anyways, grat job Coach.
found a pretty good spiel on reddit. I'll post below

They’re not losing because they’re in a “toxic” environment. They’re not losing as a result of trade deadline drama. Lakers discourse on this sub and in the national media is astounding, surely because Lebron is on the team and demands disproportionate media attention. I’m a Lebron fan, but the Lakers struggles do not surprise me in any way. The reason the Lakers are bad is because the way Magic and Pelinka built the team is obviously flawed.
Lebron + shooting has been a formula that has worked for the past 8 years. Lonzo is shooting 33% from three. Ingram doesn’t shoot, and he must be wide open. Rondo will only take wide open threes. The Lakers let Lopez walk and signed McGee who can’t and won’t shoot. Chandler won’t shoot. Their “shooters,” Kuzma, Hart, and KCP, are shooting a collective 33% from three. Lebron is playing on a team where he is the best three point shooter (minus Bullock who is a recent addition) and people are looking for reasons the team is mediocre. It’s a team built for ‘90s basketball in 2019.
It’s interesting to me that everyone recognized the design flaws in this team over the offseason but now they’re losing because “Lebron is toxic.” I suppose that’s because they started 20-14, but even when they were winning their offense was unspectacular, especially in the half court. This Lakers team has more talent than last years Cavs but the Cavs fit better.
The blame lies with the front office
