    Lakers players are angry at teammate D’Angelo Russell, have no trust in him, and are refusing to sit with him at meals, according to a report from Baxter Holmes and Marc Stein:

    At a recent breakfast meeting, one source said, no Laker would sit with Russell at his table. The source added that, in another instance, Russell came into the locker room and sat next to guard Lou Williams, who got up and walked away.

    “It’s bad,” one team source told ESPN.com’s Ramona Shelburne. “It’s about as bad as it can get. There were trust issues already. Now there’s no trust.”

    The anger stems from a video uploaded to Twitter last week by celebrity gossip website Fameolous. The video shows Russell filming teammate Nick Young while he is watching TV in a hotel room, responding to Russell’s questions about women. Young talks about having hooked up with a 19-year-old woman “after the club” during the summer, seemingly admitting to having cheated on his fiancée Iggy Azalea.
    Why Russell was filming Young, whether Young knew he was being filmed, why Young seemingly admitted to cheating on Azalea, and how the videos became public is all unknown. ESPN quotes a portion of a longer video that wasn’t uploaded by Fameolous but still somehow surfaced (h/t @jakeybzz), in which Young seems to learn that he was being filmed:

    Later in the conversation, while apparently still recording, Russell is heard telling Young, “I’m glad you told my video all that.”

    “Huh?” Young says, turning his face toward Russell before the video cuts off.

    And because this is 2016, here are some possibly related mysterious subtweets:

    The Lakers are a mess. I have never liked Kobe, and I feel horrible for him that he has to spend his final year playing with these people. This story is so bizarre. It almost seems made up.

    Right? Like who leaked the tape? Why did he even record it? What was he planning on doing with it? Did he really get hacked?

    This is a hoe move, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he's not a snitch, and maybe was gonna show one of his teammates or something cause he thought this s--- was funny. Either way he's in the wrong.

    Either way, Nick Young is a moron. He should be gone after this year.

    Best part not in OP was that the day after this he sat next to Lou Will and the 6 Man just got up and walked away.

    Edit: Nvm that s--- is in the 3rd sentence.

    Exactly. He's the franchise player and Idk how he's gonna recover from this. Apparently this was before their 40 point loss to Utah so it's obvious this s--- is affecting the team. Man up, apologize and stfu.

    Okafor making Joel look good. He's about to take his spot next season. One of those bigs is gonna be the odd man out.

    Would like to see Okafor at Power Forward and live up to the Tim Duncan comparison. :') He has huge potential and has a lot of areas he can improve on his game, but I'm afraid he could be the one getting trade if we do get rid of one.

    I don't even think it will be because they don't like him, but he's the one out of Noel & Joel who you'd get the most back for.

    Hearing some people say 'there's no way they can keep Russell now' lol, are you kidding me? If the Lakers were to trade Russell now it'd be one of the dumbest things they could possibly do. Yeah what he did here was really stupid, but most of these players won't even be on the d--- team next year so long term, who cares really. I just hope guys like Randle, Clarkson and Nance that'll actually be on the team in the future (assuming they keep Clarkson) can forgive him after a little bit.

    Nick Young's a clown and needs to f--- off anyways.

    Russell and Young are both apparently gonna talk to the media before the game tonight though, so curious to hear how that goes.
