People who said Young is the main problem for cheating would not feel the same if it happen to themselves. Let put it this way, if my friend/workmate did this to me, i would beat the crap out of him

i think people are underestimating the severity of this scandal.

I think this really puts Byron's treatment of D'Angelo in perspective. Must have been frustrating to coach someone so immature.

Lakers are gonna end up keeping Bryon Scott if they don't see a future in D'Angelo Russell.

You can blame Russell for why the Lakers won't win a championship in the next decade.

Where is Matt Barnes when you need him?

Russell is a dumbass.

This will eventually go away though. Remember when Tony Parker **** Barry's wife?

This is awesome. Nothing makes me happier to know Russell doesn't get along with Lou Williams and Nick Young

Can someone explain this article? it's written completely broken. I don't really understand what Russell did. Video tape nick young talking? I don't understand, who found out? Who did russell send it to? it doesn't explain anything

Whatever happens, the Lakers will never ever be able to put Russell and Young together in a same trade package.

I just picture Russell screaming "I got ice in my veins!" after uploading the video.

I'm interested to know Russell's motivation. Was this pay back for something? Maybe he wants a chop at Iggy.

How is this awesome? All this has done is publicly humiliate all parties involved, Iggy Azalea included. Two wrongs do not make a right, abusing your own teammate's trust is a horrible thing to do in any circumstance. What Nick Young did was legitimately awful, but I do not see that as being justification for D'Angelo Russell recording a private conversation; this matter could have been dealt with privately.

How is this not awesome? Two people who abuse the trust of people close to them and are both outed. It's awesome. Babble on about justification if you want but justification isn't an issue. Nick Young has nothing to complain about. Russell is probably the victim here as he's a product of his environment and watching Nick and probably others abusing trust left, right and centre he probably thought abusing trust was the right thing to do.

Russell is a genius actually. People think this was a dumb move, but this is going to get rid of two checkers in Lou Williams and Nick Young. Not only that, Young is a bad influence on Clarkson. I see what you did there Russell, good job.

Players are really going to hate him for this. They really take this stuff seriously. Once you break the locker room code it is going to be hard to win that trust back

His only saving grace is that he didn't leak the video himself. However, he does need to answer as to why he took the video in the first place. If his intention wasn't to out Nick Young, then what was the motive?

This is not D'Angelo just having a feud with those two, he has been black-balled by the entire team.

To put it simply, Russell coxed Nick Young into talking about private information and without Young's knowing, filmed the private comments that Young took; D'Angelo Russell betrayed the team's trust.

Supposedly his phone got "hacked", but I am far from the only one to be skeptical.

You couldn't fight your way out of a wet paper bag. Funny that you think cheating on your missus means to you that no one is allowed to snitch on you. In fact you deserve to be since you are obviously a coward abusing another person's trust for your own personal gain.

In Russell's neck of the woods he has nothing to gain from this, in fact he loses as well. Russell is actually a hero, sacrificing himself for the greater good. He deserves a medal.

Isn't this illegal in some states? I thought that California had an all-parties consent law.

Not the smartest move by Russell if that's the case.

This nonsense is totally backwards.

In this case? Yes. "But that guy was cheating on his girl" is a pretty awful excuse for intentionally recording a coworker's dirty laundry clearly confessed in confidence for the purpose of having something to hang over the guy's head.

How about this... Don't cheat

Lol...as if it's DAR's personal responsibility to expose infidelity within the Lakers organization.

How about D'Angelo mind his own business rather than playing detective? The fact he did this to his own teammate and went a step further by selling the story to sports media makes it even more deplorable.
