Yep.  It is so bad that Russell sat down in the lockerroom next to Lou Williams who immediately got up and left without saying a word.

That organization is a mess.  This one is on Russell for being a complete idiot, but that doesn't happen in a locker room that is remotely professional.  My gut says this was an ill-thought out prank in retaliation for an earlier prank, but even if so it's hard to see this one healing even over the summer.  Total mess in La-La Land, and I for one am not sorry.

Wow, that's worse than punching a fan in the face. At least in terms of being able to be a part of a team, anyway, obviously not legally.

Good way to weed out the bad players I guess. Young probably won't leave LA without a decent push.

Mannix was suggesting that they might have to make a decision. It's hard to trade him because he's the #2 pick, but do you just get rid of the rest of the team if the ostrizing continues? Also said that Russell is a very immature kid. Yes, he's only 20, but he acts much younger than that.

I'm not surprised he's been isolated. Talk about a stab in the back..

Nick Young doesn't come out of it well either though. You have to wonder about the motivation behind the video. Jealousy? Or did he want to out Young as a bit of a cheat? The questions were pretty leading..

Wow - that kind of thing not only alienates his teammates but it'll follow him around no matter who he plays with.  From an "unwritten code" perspective it's probably worse than sleeping with a teammate's girlfriend/wife.

Send him to Philly for Okofor.  How funny would that be with how the draft played out.

Russell is going to feel hate for a long time

Ppl r thinking why talk to you, when you be recording our private talk

The coach can fix this issue by having a closed door meeting and having Russell apologize. Or wear a dress haha I don't know. But the kid needs to make it right

This is a huge issue for the LA organization. As the article mentions, he's only 19, but acts like a 14 year old. That is a huge understatement in my opinion. He's technically still a kid, but is making millions and at that age should know certain things you just don't do.

Kinda makes me think as well. Compare to the 76ers, both are tanking, but now that I think of it, the 76ers might be ahead. I don't think I am hearing much tension in the locker room.

This is the same franchise that Felger and Mazz say may be in a better place than the Celtics  ::)

I freakin' HATE Felger and Mazz. They should stick to hockey and baseball, never talk about basketball and football again
