Nick Young is attempting to repair his relationship with D'Angelo Russell but his future with the Los Angeles Lakers remains uncertain.

"I would frankly be surprised if Nick Young is on the Lakers' roster at the start of the season," said Kevin Ding. "They've been trying to trade him for a while, they're still trying to trade him. They are willing to even buy him out, if necessary, to move on and really commit to the youth movement and let D'Angelo Russell do his thing."

The Lakers signed Young to a four-year, $21.5 million deal in 2014.
