On Friday evening, the Lakers lost to the Golden State Warriors by a score of 132-74 to conclude the preseason with a 2-4 record.

Reddish had a poor shooting night, finishing the loss with six points, two rebounds, one assist and three steals while shooting 1/11 from the field in 25 minutes.

Many fans have mixed emotions on the former Duke star (h/t @LakersLead).

MortgageSense83: "Sell his contract to the Big 3"

@Quillermo216: "Waive and get Lonnie walker"

@jayylusung: "Tell him that it’s ok to play his game. I know he could a big piece to this team if they could just let ball bro"

@ladieslove_chey: "My man has to understand he needs to take on the role of just pure defense. He can become a taller version of pat bev. Idk why he lost his confidence offensively but it is what it is. We need someone to be a Vanderbilt until he is healthy."

@BronGotGame: "waive"

@Fonzorellie86: "If they want to trade for a Center, they will have to package him in a deal. He is one of their best defenders, but they gotta do what they gotta do."

The Lakers will play their first game on Tuesday evening when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves.
