JJ Reddick has trust issues with his Lakers players

[BallsOut]

Game 4 all Lakers 5 players played the entire second half without substitutions because JJ Reddit doesn’t trust the Lakers players. Imagine being Dalton Knecht, Gabe Vincent, Jaxon Hayes, Jordan Goodwin, Shake Milton. Thats complete disrespect when he doesn’t think they deserve even a minute of playing time in the second half of a crucial playoff game.

JJ Reddick has trust issues with his Lakers players. It’s even worst than we imagined even Thibs never went this far. Should Lakers have hired someone else? We don’t want Reddick driving Luka into the ground he just got here and he’s our future franchise player.

Very short leash for some players for sure. I will say Hayes has solidly played himself off the court. Just a bonehead that makes horrible decisions on both sides.

Vanderbilt should have gotten minutes, but he is also a hothead and makes bad decisions. Still should have gotten minutes in that second half.

Gabe Vincent should feel most bothered, because he played well in the first 2 games, but did very poorly and made some costly turnovers in game 3.

Knecht not being played at all, I don't know, he is a rookie, but what I saw from the regular season, he could definitely give some minutes.

Goodwin sucks, barely an NBA player. Shake Milton, who?

Forgot about Vanderbilt. Reddick doesn’t respect these other Lakers it’s humiliating considering all the work they put in and don’t get a single minute of playing time in the second half

I don't think that's the issue. It's his first year as a HC and he's coaching Lebron so he probably doesn't have much of a say in that matter. Should've known better considering how the previous game went.

Is LeBron the coach of the Lakers?

It's telling that he'd rather let the starters run on fumes. He doesn't trust the bench because they are not to be trusted.

Oh no…
Trust issues…

LeBron is 40 and JJ plays him the entire second half.
Luka is two days removed from food poisoning and is 25 years old in a 35 year old body.
And JJ is playing both the entire second half?
Maybe Pelinka is already focusing on getting Gianis for next season?
