    Good press conference...said all the right things....but I'm still scratching my head on how this video got out in the first place. DLo claims he doesn't know...but how do you not know? How could the video get out? Maybe he uploaded it to his macbook and somebody got ahold of his macbook? Or it's in his icloud and somebody got ahold of his icloud? Or he get really messed up one night, lost his phone, and before he could lock his phone through find my iphone, the person who found his phone got the video off his phone? I mean there's a lot of real possibilities on how the video could have gotten out....but DLo better start remembering who exactly he has hung out with lately, who has access to his phone even for a second (is he seeing any girl right now?), and where he uploads his videos, if at all. Another possibility is he deleted the video, but then forgot to delete it from his "recently deleted" folder, which tbh, is the most likely way to get caught. I'm praying that it's something like this....as this would bring D'Angelo back into a less harsh light....as you can chalk that up as an honest mistake.

    As for Nick Young tweeting out "What I accept?" and then deleting it. That is the final straw for me. Honestly, you're in a crappy spot, and he goes on social media tweets that BS, then deletes it? Shut your damn mouth and try to make things better, not add fuel to the fire. Nick Young is a f***ing clown, and I PRAY he is gone from the Lakers this offseason.

    Remember what Roth said to Michael about Frank Pentelgeli? ' He is small pototates.' That's Nick. He will be gone this summer.

    Definitely. I get being upset but that was unnecessary. It's not like he has clean hands here.

    I agree, Nick has to go. If Russ apologized, this is a professional environment, you have to accept it and try and move on. If Nick is gonna be immature back at 30 years old to a 20 year old, not good. Nick clearly isn't in our future plans anyway, maybe we can get a 2nd round pick for him?

    OK D'Angelo was sincere in his apology. I'm glad he acknowledged and owned up to his actions. That's all I could ask from a 20 year-old kid who made an insanely stupid mistake.

    Like others, I'm hoping this incident will accelerate his maturation. Perhaps the team could ban his SNS accounts for a year. That'll discipline him. If he focuses 100% on basketball like young Kobe, the sky is the limit for this kid.

    I don't get the booing at all, Russ didn't do anything to Lakers fans. Are they mad that he outed Young as a cheater? I get Young being mad, but why in the world would the Lakers crowd boo this? He didn't badmouth Kobe or the Lakers franchise, he made a mistake regarding a teammate, very odd.

    Anyone still talking about Nance calling Kobe a rapist?

    This will pass. There is a ton of noise right now mainly because people don't have anything better to talk about. They are incredibly stupid for booing and will be the same group b****ing if we trade DR for junk to just get rid of him.

    And that sir, is an assessment of your typical averaged Lakers fan.
