Nick Young drills game-winning 3 at Drew League

The only positive note seen is Young’s big grin and feeling of confidence that he will enter the new season as part of the Lakers. Young raised his arms and started to turn around just before the ball splashed through the net. Young’s contract which has three years and $21.5 million left on it is no longer wanted on the Los Angeles pay roll which has the hooter facing trade rumors.

“It’s been tough at times”, Young said Sunday after his game-winning three-pointer as time expired in double overtime helped his team, Most Hated Players, defeat a team called Problems in the pro-am Drew League at King Drew High. “It feels like Pau Gasol”.

With the National Basketball Association regular season just around the corner, October 27 to be exact, continuous trade rumors are in the air, making fans speculate what will happen to their favorite ballers. Young also conceded “he can already see” something similar happening to him next season. However, Young told the Los Angeles Times that he has spoken with general manager Mitch Kupchak multiple times and has been reassured he is not going anywhere.

For now, at least, it appears Young will remain in Los Angeles, although the acquisition of Sixth Man of the Year Lou Williams (not to mention Kobe Bryant’s return, Jordan Clarkson’s emergence, and the drafting of D’Angelo Russell) complicates his place in the rotation. “So it should be all right”.

Scott and Young had their issues last season, but Young said the second go-round should better. I think that this year should be better. “Last year we had a lot going on with the team”.
