Wow! Talk about stabbing a teammate in the back. The Lakers used the 2nd pick of the 2015 draft for Russell.

What exactly does that have to do with his playing ability? Since when is the NBA concerned about a player’s image?

When you stab a teammate in the back it’s not great for team chemistry.
Lakers suck anyway.

If he's being shunned by his teammates (and reportedly he is), it has quite an impact on his playing ability. A player who is not trusted by his current team and will not be trusted by players on other teams has a limited future in the NBA - and this kid was the 2nd overall draft pick of the 2015 draft, not some throwaway. Could be a huge problem for the Lakers hopes of rebuilding.

hard to play with a broken ankle, blown out knee. Stuff happens, it's a fast paced sport.

Opps, sorry bout that. My bad..... /s

If the recording took place in California without the knowledge or consent of the other person, Russell could be in civil and criminal trouble.

I'll say it now: the Lakers are now a three-alarm house fire when it comes to bad publicity. They're almost as bad as the current Philadelphia 76ers!

Not quite as bad as a couple years ago when an iindianapolis player got caught boinking a team mates ole lady.
But still, not positive for team chemistry

They can't get much worse. It's unlikely they can drop below Philadelphia as the worst team. And they can't pass up Phoenix.

They are locked into being significantly worse than 28 NBA teams, and significantly better than one team.

I don’t know about that case, but it happened in San Antonio.
