Yesterday, the Lakers made two signings in one go. They picked up 3-and-D wing Cameron Carr in the draft, followed by a four-year, $185 million max extension for their developed guard Austin Reeves.

That's not all—without a second-round pick originally, the Lakers purchased the No. 56 pick from the Bulls. They then attempted to trade up for the Thunder's No. 37 pick, targeting North Carolina center Vissar.

According to U.S. media, Vissar and his agent received a promise from the Lakers that they would select him at No. 56.

NBA reporter Brett Siegel said Vissar's camp wanted him to go to the Hawks instead of the Lakers. The Hawks also wanted him and kept working to move up in the draft order. They snatched Vissar at No. 52, beating the Knicks, Lakers, and other teams.

With Vissar being poached, the Lakers traded the No. 56 pick to the Mavericks for cash. In summary, the Lakers spent $4.6 million to buy the 56th pick, then sold it for $3 million—losing over a million bucks in one day without accomplishing anything.

After receiving a draft promise from the Lakers, everyone assumed Vissar would go to L.A., but the Hawks intercepted him first. Interestingly, Vissar shares the same agent as Rui Hachimura—Jason Ranne.

Although the Lakers missed out on Vissar, they still signed four new players. Two received two-way contracts, and two signed training camp deals.

The first is an undrafted forward from Vanderbilt University, AK Okaireke, who signed a two-way contract. Standing 2.01 meters tall, he plays forward. In his senior season, Okaireke averaged 9.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game, shooting 48.1% from the field and 40% from three-point range.

U.S. media outlet Lakers Daily said that while Okaireke isn't a traditional center, his height and strength as a forward are qualities the Lakers have always valued. If his shooting improves, he could certainly carve out a solid NBA career.

The second is also an undrafted player, Peter Sood, who signed a two-way contract. He is 1.93 meters tall and plays shooting guard. This season, he led the University of Miami to a 31-0 regular season record. In 33 games, he averaged 14.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists, shooting 54.6% from the field and 42.1% from three.

The third is a former Syracuse center, William Kyle III, who signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Lakers. Kyle stands 2.06 meters and weighs 104 kg. In his senior season at Syracuse, he averaged 8.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game, shooting 66.1% from the floor.

Lakers Daily stated: "Kyle's athleticism is similar to that of Adu Tiero and Gabe Gabriel. Last season, he was explosive and excelled at blocking shots in the air. If he fights for a two-way contract before the end of summer league, it wouldn't be surprising."

The fourth is Indiana University center Robbie Avila, who signed a training camp contract. He looks quite heavy and plays wearing goggles.

Enough about the Lakers—let's talk about LeBron James.

He posted on social media, officially beginning his offseason strength training and basketball drills.

Keen-eyed fans noticed that the floor pattern matches the gym in LeBron's home in Akron. The time of his post was 6 a.m. local time in Cleveland. It turns out that during the contract negotiation phase with the Lakers, LeBron returned to Cleveland to train.

After training, James also played a few rounds of golf.

Yesterday, James received a Father's Day card from his daughter in Los Angeles and was deeply moved. Today, he's already in Cleveland. At this critical moment—think about it, ponder it.
