The Los Angeles Lakers, sputtering to the end of Kobe Bryant's farewell season with the worst record in franchise history, face a fresh crisis involving prized rookie point guard D'Angelo Russell, according to team sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that some teammates' trust in Russell is eroding after a video surfaced in the past week that shows Russell recording a private conversation between himself and teammate Nick Young. Young does not appear to realize he is being taped.

The video, which is believed to have come to light last week via the Twitter account of a celebrity gossip site, shows Russell filming Young while asking questions about Young being with other women. Young got engaged to Australian rapper Iggy Azalea last summer.

If this were the military the whole team would raid him in his sleep and kick the shite out of him.

Have they broken up? I haven't heard a follow up since the video leaked. They're a pretty cool couple imo.

The NBA already set the precedent that nothing is private after the Donald Sterling fiasco. They might as well suspend Swaggy P for being a cheating douche and give Russell a trophy.

I don't like him either.

He should legally be able to beat Russell to within an inch of his life. Did he film that shite and put it online himself? That's not even believable. No teammate would ever randomly do that.

It is a pretty insane story.

When is the last time we've seen a rookie publicly blast a vet teammate like this?

I' don't have the words to express how unbelievable it is. Blast a teammate? He got him to admit to cheating on his fiancé, on video, then posted the video. Oh my god There is literally zero scenarios where he wouldn't get beat to hell, maybe even with a weapon, the next time Young saw him.

I think Young is/was in on it. Maybe to get out of marrying what's her face. There's no way a teammate would do that. I don't know how this isn't the biggest story around. It's the craziest thing I've ever heard a teammate do.

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.

It's not like she doesn't know and accept that he fricks different bitches in every city he travels to.

Gotta sell it.

"Hey man, remember me telling you I cheated on my fiancé?"
"Yeah."
"You filmed it. And put it on the interwebs. 4 million people just told the woman I'm due to marry that I've been fricking other women."
"Yeah, I did that."

No.fricking.way.that.happened. They had to have planned it to get him out of the relationship or something.

Iggy is in the industry, she has to know something happened at least once. My thing is, was Nick telling him a story from a long time ago? Or was it recent?

That has nothing to do with a teammate randomly doing that to you. Senseless doesn't even begin to describe it.
