Swaggy P on his own recruiting mission for Lakers

Nick Young has a unique view of things, and that just might help attract big-ticket free agents back to the Los Angeles Lakers.

With the once-dominant franchise in another rare season of purgatory, Young offered some thoughts to the Los Angeles Daily News about where they could be next season, given the cap space they have.

"This offseason is going to be big for us," Young told the Daily News' Mark Medina on Monday. "It's going to work out."

Now before you assume that all Laker recruiting will fall on the aging shoulders of Kobe Bryant, think again. 

Young explains, "I told Goran Dragic on the court, 'You might be my teammate next year.' I'll talk to Marc (Gasol.) Me and him are cool. Kevin Love. I'll talk to him."

The power of a positive attitude is a formidable thing. The Lakers may find that Swaggy's rubs off on potential suitors.

"I try to block out all the negativity and just be Swaggy out there. They told me you can't turn Swaggy off. You made this guy so you got to be him."
