Nick Young may not have a place on the Los Angeles Lakers roster anymore.

Reports are that the Lakers have been trying to trade Young for awhile now, just without any luck. Working to move the 31-year-old shooting guard isn't something they're going to stop doing either.

Here's what Kevin Ding of Bleacher Report had to say on the matter in a recent video:

“[The Lakers] have been trying to trade [Young] for a while. They are still trying to trade him. They are willing to even buy him out if necessary to move on.

“Nick did bring a legitimate breath of fresh air a couple of years ago with his energy and his real pride in being a Laker when the team was terrible. Unfortunately, Nick sort of became terrible and that is why they are ready to move on from him.”

It really started to go down hill for Young and the Lakers when his feud with D'Angelo Russell started. Young did say recently that he is open to reconciling with Russell, but that doesn't look to matter much at this point.

Last season, Nick Young's scoring dipped to 7.3 points a night and he shot only 32.5 percent from behind the 3-point line. It was perfect for the tanking Lakers but with a talented young core, they're now looking to start heading in the other direction. And that vision clearly doesn't include Young.
