Well this is no surprise, Nick Young is on the trading block. According to multiple league sources, including Mark Medina who is the Los Angeles Lakers Beat Writer:
With Nick Young's tough season + clashes w/ Byron Scott, I'm told Lakers will shop Young around this summer https://t.co/6dtco2bMSB

Young on Byron's criticisms: "If he doesn't talk to you, he doesn't care about you. He wants me to get better."

Nick Young on bad shooting: "I blame it on the rim. The rim was tripping this year. I'll take her on a date & treat her better."

After a injury riddled season for Nick Young and a horrible shooting performance of a year, how does he expect he’s not getting traded? He’s averaging career low’s in almost everything except turnovers. Another thing, what kind of Professional NBA player on the Lakers blames his shooting on the rim? He signed a huge contract extension last season and it’s really doubtful anybody would like to pick up the ugly contract. Lakers got themselves in a hole, once again.
