Sources: Lakers teammates 'isolating' D'Angelo Russell after video surfaces

ESPN link (Autoplaying video inside)
Cold. Blooded.
quote:
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."
In the video, Russell asks Young at one point, "You was 30 and she was 19?" referencing Young's age and the age of another woman that Young said that he met in a nightclub.
"What about Amber Rose?" Russell later says, mentioning another celebrity.
"No, she knows my girl," Young is recorded as saying.
quote:
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.
Cold. Blooded.

Russell is a unique talent who's going to improve, but nobody in the locker room likes him and chances are a lot of players around the league won't like or trust him after that. The Lakers roster is honestly pathetic otherwise, so everyone else can be traded or expire if you wanted to keep him as your star.
What do the Lakers do now...

Am I missing a part of this story? He gets taped talking about cheating on his fiance and he's getting shunned? I'm not saying it's right, but isn't that common practice among pro athletes?

Right. I can kind of get the general public not liking him, especially if they are fans of iggy, but why are his teammates hating him?

Because he broke Bro Code

Teammates aren't shunning the cheater. They are shunning the guy who recorded the video.

Makes more sense. Gotcha. Carry on.

The NBA is notorious for having an abundance of players that cheat on their significant others. Having a kid like D'Angelo Russell baiting a teammate to admit as much, unknowingly, is a big red-flag for other players.
Even if the guy (i.e. Nick Young) is a POS for cheating, there are just some things you don't do to your good friends. This is one of them.
ETA: sorry, just saw above post.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but how could you read the OP and get confused?

I don't follow the NBA. Got the names mixed up.

Russell is being isolated because he made public video of his teammate Nick Young admitting to infidelity. He recorded this video without Youngs permission.
Russell is being isolated by his team
Young DID the cheating

Blows my mind that Russell thought this was a good idea.
