All those takes, fresh from the oven, wasted. :smh:

Make a mistake, own it, work, move on.

This ordeal is DLo's Kobe airballs in Utah. It will drive him all summer to get better, earn the trust and respect back.

lulz at comparing air balls to video taping your teammate and releasing it to the public.
 
Nick was talking about the Kyrie thing, but it was still a shot at dlo.

This dude just had a press conference where he said they need to keep it out the media. Cmon bruh. There's more to this story, clearly
 
I like the way it's being handled but it's still a process. For the first time ever Nick Young actually took something serious and he looked hurt by it. There's no way DLo doesn't know how it got out. Most likely he sent it to somebody.


Both of these dudes are clowns and the older clown influenced the younger one. They joke and play around all the time and DLo took it too far. The good news is that he's young and this should make him grow up. He got a good taste of what the spotlight feels like. I'm sure dudes around the league still look at him as a punk so everything ain't all good cuz they won last night and they're dabbin. It's gonna take time.

This.

Still not ******* with him cause clearly he didn't tell the whole story. No way you say it wasn't a prank, nobody had access you your phone, not hacked and it just somehow magically gets out.

I bet after he recorded it he sent it to somebody else and then deleted it from his phone just to save it for later. Sucka ****.

What did Stephen A reveal about the 3peat Lakers ?
Click to expand...

People said Shaq slapped Kobe. Kobe said he tried and he wouldn't get away with that.


Shaq mumbling under his breath "maybe he should go to jail"


Kobe calling Shaq a fat slob.


Somebody said Kobe tanked a game and Kobe walked in the locker room and asked everybody to their face "Did you say this MFer"


:lol: :lol:
 
I'm talking about after that when he was implying some goons/gangs were threatening to do something to Kobe after Shaq got traded and Shaq stepped in and vouched for him.

Kobe woulda got killed but Stephen A saying Kobe was backing down from Shaq. :lol:
 
Nick Young should be handling this by publicily forgiving D'Angelo because the way he is handling right now will make sure this is the last NBA contract he ever sees.

Dumbasses are going to dumbass though.

Publicly forgave the dude already

Byron tryna make sure this his last NBA contract, prolly be in the A next year tho
 
Yeah Nick Young has a right to be upset with D'Angelo.

You had card to treat him like an *******. And you keep going to social media.

Make me a bike, CLOWN

Without doing the math, and not even sure what the market for Butler would be, but if we could land #1-2 and get Ingram

And still cap to sign another player or two of value. Thin bench tho, but this is the type of "upgrade" they'd need to be both viable on defense and have enough offense to make it work.

Leftovers would be Huertas, Brown, Black, if we could keep #32 (might have to be part of deal) maybe Bass stays another year? If our other signee was someone like Batum, or DeRozan, you could slide Ingram to the bench while he learns, etc.


But, all that said, I don't see a deal like this happening. We couldn't get anything out of them for Pau, they aren't going to just give us Butler. And I don't know if they value Randle/Clarkson/Lou as close enough value. I think they'd want more, and I wouldn't give up another top pick, be it DLo or this year's.

Yea, one of the 2 sides is going to have to make a concession to either giving up too much or resigning to not getting "enough"

I think a Laker package is about the best they are going to get if they are trying to blow it up and rebuild with youth but the package that Boston would give is not any good IMO

If they want to do a partial rebuild and still compete maybeeee the Kings would answer the call for DMC I'm interested to see if like the Wizards would give up Beal (who is also oft-injured) or Clippers (Griffin) which I highly doubt.
 
No one will trust DLo on a personal level for a long time

But basketball wise this'll blow over quickly... If he produces on the court.

Honestly it depends on the fallout, since he hasn't given a plausible explanation people are going to draw their town conclusions. If it leads to the subsequent break up of Iggy and Nick, it looks worse. Others in the NBA and sports fraternity have already expressed their fellings in it, he'll be a pariah for a while. Just getting buckets isn't going to erase this.
 
Man it's not a big deal. Sure Swaggy can be mad at DLo but it's not like DLo did it intentionally

Both Nick and D prank each other

Nick probably knew about the video when it took place... It was probably D getting Nick on camera admitting to cheating as a prank. So Nick would see it right after and trip out. But D never had intentions of making that video public...He just never deleted it and swaggy knew D enough to know he wouldnt do him like that

Some how the video got out....and the narrative is that D is a rat 

Truth is it was a joke that went wrong....Whatever. Forgive yo boi, learn from this and move on

Id kick it wit DLo still...Dude aint a rat.

Ehhhh

He keeps tweeting and deleting subtle shots..

That's doing a lot wrong.


If he wants to be mad at D'Angelo.. That's fine, he's well within his right.. I won't argue the morality part of it because that would change this from black and white. Just say if he wants to mad at Russell, that's fine.

But he keeps going to social media. He keeps tweeting stuff.. Then he keeps deleting things. Acting like nobody is going to see it.

I mean come on man, social media has ruined your friendship, perhaps your engagement, and will get you booted off your childhood team. Why the hell are you still going back to social media to air things out?

Does Nick have no common sense?


Two things I've heard today....
1. First Take referring to Russell & Nick as kids.. Both are adults, but you can make a case that 20 years old is still a kid. He wouldn't have been halfway through college.. Nonetheless, he should know better.. But people make mistakes., especially at that age. Dumb mistakes

Nick is 30 years old. Been in the league for years. How stupid do you have to be to keep going back to social media.


2. Stugotz made a great point on the Dan LeBatard show... And that's rare. He was piggybacking of LeBatard saying everything that happened in this entire story is immaturity.. But how ironic is it that in the aftermath, the most mature guy is the one who screwed up and faced it.

Never said it would be erased.

But it wont be discussed on a nightly basis if the Lakers find ways to win more games next season, or just improve in general (which wont be hard to do).

5 years from now he'll be called a rat, just like 5 years later Kobe was still called a cheater and a you know what.

But... people have been forgivin for a lot worse publicly.
This might not be forgotten but itll be forgiven eventually, at least on the basketball court.
 
People will bring this up for the rest of his life. It's permanent. But the strength of the mark will lessen over time.

He's going to be spending months with his teammates for years on ends, as long as he shows he is willing to do whatever to ameliorate the situation by being a good guy, people will forgive him. Anyone really think he's going to make the same mistake again.

This is what happens when you surround an immature 19 year old with Swaggy P. Kids gonna imitate those around them, so he did something that Swaggy P himself would probably do. Take a joke too far. It's not a coincidence that this happened with Swaggy P of all people

There was the video of Nick outside the club with the "backpack," video of him and B. Jennings with molly, picture of him in the parking lot with another shorty already when he was dating Iggy.

Yes, D'angelo is a snitch ***** for doing what he did but Nick got himself in his shoes. Dude has played a clown his whole career so too bad for him finding himself in this spot.
