NBA: Swaggy P on shaky grounds in Los Angeles Lakers.

Rumor has it that Nick Young nicknamed "Swaggy P" may be on as his way out of LA Lakers as the franchise seeks a new era following the retirement of Kobe Bryant from the NBA last April.

This past season may be Nick Young's last with the Lakers.

With Kobe no longer around, the Lakers have acquired a young coach in Luke Walton from Golden State Warriors and with a plethora of exciting young talents like Ingram, Nancy Jr, Clarkson, Randle and D'Angelo Russell, now seek a fresh start, and it appears Nick Young will be let go one way or another with a trade very likely during the NBA offseason according to a Bleacher reporter Kevin Ding.

"I would frankly be surprised if Nick Young is on the Lakers roster at the start of the season. They have been trying to trade him for a while. They are still trying to trade him. They are willing to even buy him out to move on."

Although, Young recently admitted to trying to work things out with D'Angelo Russell after he snitched on him about cheating on his girlfriend but the issues will linger as long as Young is still a Laker plus the fact that age isn't on his side and has been inconsistent in his game.

D'Angelo Russell may be the next torch bearer in LA Lakers.

It seems the Lakers franchise is set to move on with D'Angelo Russell as their next superstar after the retirement of Kobe Bryant. The young point guard was very impressive during the NBA Summer League in Ohio state where he averaged 21.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. With his emergence as a potential new torch bearer , Nick Young's future in the team could get complicated and his status in the team could be based on his relationship with the young point guard.
