By Kyle Edelman The LA Lakers are 15-59 and the worst team in the Western Conference. Their lone highlights this year include tracking Kobe Bryant’s final games and watching their young, future stars blossom into decent players. One of those stars is D’Angelo Russell, the 2nd overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. The Lakers had not picked top 3 in the NBA Draft since the 1980’s, so their pick last year was essential to an eventual rebuild of the once glorious franchise. Though Russell’s play has been impressive at times, the young point guard might have a new issues with his new team. In Kanye West’s song “Real Friends,” he writes, “It's not many of us, we smile at each other But how many honest? Trust issues.” Though the LA Lakers and Kanye West would never be related in any other circumstance- unless there was a Kardashian involved, this lyric describes the current drama within the team. On March 28th 2016, a snapchat video surfaced of Nick Young, a shooting guard for the Lakers, answering questions about sleeping with “a couple of women.”
