Byron And D’Angelo Russell Aren’t Friends
- Updated: September 30, 2016
Not sure if this is a surprise, but according to Byron Scott, he doesn’t have a relationship with D’Angelo Russell.
This comment comes after a series of remarks on the situation this off season. Byron Scott told TMZ, “I don’t have a relationship with D’Angelo. It is what it is.”
Let’s rewind.
D’Angelo said last season was “Looney Tunes” and he “didn’t get anything out of it.”
It’s no secret that Byron Scott didn’t succeed at the Lakers and he definitely didn’t succeed with the locker room. When asked about D’Angelo Russell’s comments, Scott said it didn’t “bother [him] at all” because his “track record with guards speaks for itself, so I don’t pay it really no attention.”
Last year Bryon went out of his way to make comments about Russell. To the public. Not just in the huddle or during practice. There was clearly no respect there.
Yes, the 2015-16 season wasn’t really about Lakers basketball. It was about the grand send-off of Kobe Bryant and that’s ok! Someone seemed to have forgotten to tell Scott that. Instead, he went off and humiliated his rookie.
Assuming Russell will be a major piece for the Lakers this season, it will be interesting to see how Luke Walton will treat his young core.
