Do I think that DeAngelo Russell is STILL being outcasted by his team after he all-but-flushed his teammate's engagement down the toilet with one of more misguided SnapChat's in the history of SnapChat? No, not particularly. I'm sure that Swaggy P isn't inviting him to any sleepovers anytime soon, but I would imagine that the rest of team has long forgotten his complete misuse of social media. That said, it's pretty obvious the guy who was selected #2 overall with the expectation that he help lead the Lakers back to prominence isn't exactly the most beloved guy on the roster. I don't think everyone within the organization is actively avoiding his high-fives, but I'll be damned if Thomas Robinson - a late camp addition - didn't just actively duck the fuck out of the way of the starting point guard's extended hand. I'm not saying he can't be a great player in this league, but maybe that should be for a team that can better utilize his acts of togetherness - like the Suns. Call it circumstancial if you'd like, but three players were whooping it up and just walked right on by a guy that was trying to get in on the action. Generally that's not something that happens to people that aren't invisible (or people that don't broadcast their teammate's infidelity to the entire fucking world). I'm sure they are all playing nice, but I refuse to ignore too many more smoking guns....
