    D'Angelo Russell tapes private conversation with Nick Young without him knowing talking about women he got with and its gets posted to the internet. Laker teammates are all furious. Thats why they got blown out by 50 at Utah.

    Some might think its just a silly TMZ story. But I think it's going to be a real bad deal long term for Russell and the Lakers. Teammates won't ever trust this guy, players won't want to sign and play with him and he won't have any trade value. Not having trust in a locker room is the ultimate chemistry killer.

    Heh, and I was worried that Russell was going to be the next big superstar and return the Lakers to their prior glory. Guess I needn't have been concerned.

    I can just see Simmons or Ingram telling the Lakers not to draft him because they don't want to play with Russell. That would be the ultimate epilogue to this story.

    It would be a fitting end to this ridiculous Kobe farewell saga if the Laker fans get bupkis for the losses this year.

    The Lakers would then keep their 2017 pick. But their 2018 pick would go to Orlando top5 protected and be completely unprotected in 2019.

    So glad for the Nash and Dwight trades!

    It looks like we might be in an era of Lakers misery that won't end anytime soon and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

    Feel bad for Iggy. But didn't this happen like 15 yrs ago?

    Man, wtf is going on these days?

    Chick films Sterling and the league ousts him from his team.

    Jahlil Okafor gets into fist fights and knocks people out.

    Blake Griffin punches out the equipment guy and is out for like 2 months.

    Kyrie's girl cheated on him and went back to her ex, who put up a photo of the two together in bed.

    So much weird shit going on.
