Rumors are out that controversial Los Angeles Lakers wingman Nick Young is not yet ready to forgive his rookie teammate, D'Angelo Russell, after their now infamous video scandal and is said to be "demanding" that he or Russell should be traded this summer.
Hollywood Life indicated that the 30-year-old Young "is demanding that one of them get traded to another team following the release of a video where he admits to cheating on fiancée Iggy Azalea".

The video, shot by Russell, shows the two teammates talking about Young's affairs with other women outside of his relationship with Azalea, in which the latter seems unaware that it is being recorded. It has said to be "accidentally" leaked out in social media, which has allegedly caused much disunity in the Lakers locker room and instigated mixed reactions all around the league.
Russell, ten years Young's junior and is the second overall pick of last year's draft, had reportedly apologized to his veteran teammate, but there were also reports that the LA shooting guard is not yet ready to move on from the incident that could cause damaging ramifications in his personal life.
"Nick doesn't want to play with D'Angelo," Hollywood Life's source said. "He is not going to forgive him over this and he is so disgusted with the whole situation that he has asked to be traded in the off-season, or to have the team trade D'Angelo."
The 25-year-old Azalea is reportedly not breaking the engagement with his long-time boyfriend and seems to be handling the controversy well publicly.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles Times' Mike Bresnahan reported that players from the team are hinting of a whole "locker room tension" after the incident, citing Jordan Clarkson as saying that the team is "a bit strained" and Julius Randle echoing that it was a "little awkward".
The Lakers had been trying to trade Young in the past two seasons and this summer may be the time that the Los Angeles native finally exits his hometown squad.
