Nick Young could be willing to give the Lakers a hometown discount after opting out of his deal.

His last year is only worth $1.2 million, but he should be able to do better after a solid 2013-14. Young has been spotted on vacation wearing Lakers shorts and clearly is enjoying his time in Los Angeles. While last year was great, Young's fantasy value figures to take a massive hit with Kobe Bryant coming back.

Nick Young got hot against the Jazz on Monday for a season-high 41 points with three boards, three assists and six 3-pointers on 14-of-23 shooting.

In a post-game interview with sideline reporter Mike Trudell, Young said he knew his career-high was 43 and he wanted to break it tonight, which is obviously the least surprising news of the day. He's had an interesting season for a several reasons: Swaggy said he didn't want to get an MRI on his knee because he'd be worried about the results, his Nike Air Yeezys were stolen and he's referred to himself in the third person more times than we care to count. If one thing's for sure, he's certainly not boring.

Nick Young hurt his knee during Sunday's game but he quickly returned to finish with 14 points, four 3-pointers, one rebound, one steal and one block in 26 minutes.

Swaggy is having a terrific month of April, averaging 20.6 points, 3.4 triples, 1.8 assists and 0.6 steals in just 25 minutes per game off Mike D'Antoni's bench. He's almost certain to opt out of his NBA-minimum contract this summer, but he's already expressed a desire to re-sign with L.A.

After hearing about Corey Brewer's 51-point game, Young said in the locker room that he wanted to go for 60 the next time out. With the way he's assuming a neon green light on the floor, we don't doubt his sincerity and he should be in all lineups.

Nick Young is expected to opt out of his $1.2 million option for next season, but he's "very confident" that he'll reach an agreement to re-sign with the Lakers.

Young is earning the NBA minimum this season, while averaging 17.5 points per game, and there's no doubt that he'll get a nice raise this summer. He said that he's willing to accept less from the Lakers than from other teams, which increases the odds that he'll stay in L.A.

Nick Young (ankle) "looked OK" during Saturday's practice, and he's expected to play vs. the Clippers on Sunday.

The Lakers will be without Pau Gasol, Chris Kaman, Steve Nash and Xavier Henry, so they can surely use whatever production Swaggy can give them. Owners should consider him probable to play until we get an update after Sunday's shootaround.

He hasn't been his usual self in scoring the ball in his previous three games back from a knee injury with only two of his 21 makes coming via mid-range. Young is going to continue to be a high-volume guy in scoring and treys, but he didn't have any blocks or steals in those three games with just two total assists. He's basically just a two-category guy.

Nick Young (knee) is ready to go for Thursday's game vs. the Bucks.

Young said afterward that he thought he'd be OK, but anyone relying on Swaggy for production should keep a close eye on L.A.'s injury report. If he's forced to miss a game or more, look for Xavier Henry and Kent Bazemore to each earn a few extra minutes.

He had about $100,000 worth of goods stolen from his house including his Nike Air Yeezys and he put up some nice numbers off the bench tonight. Young has been effective in his return, but his ceiling won't be too high in fantasy leagues with only points and triples.

Young's knee injury sidelined him for just shy of a month but you wouldn't know it from watching him play the past two games, as he's averaging 23.5 points and 3.0 threes per game. He's shooting just 42.1 percent this season and faces competition from Kent Bazemore, Ryan Kelly and possibly Xavier Henry (wrist), and his two-dimensional fantasy game makes him a risky pickup.

Nick Young (knee) will come off the Lakers' bench in his return to action on Friday.

Young has played just 20 minutes since February 5 and still lacks a timetable for his return. Swaggy P does have something to play for since he can opt out of his contract after the season, but the Lakers have no motivation to rush Young's return as there playoff hopes have been extinguished for quite some time now. With Kobe Bryant now out for the season, Jodie Meeks is the must-own player with Kent Bazemore, Wesley Johnson, and Ryan Kelly all continuing to see a boost in value while Young is out.
