Virtually any way you slice it, between keeping restricted free agent Austin Reaves at a surprisingly reasonable figure and adding valuable role players like Gabe Vincent and Taurean Prince, the Lakers have had a wildly productive summer.

Minutes into a scheduled press conference in London, Tyson Fury, heavyweight champion, morphed into Tyson Fury, supersized entertainer. Seizing a mic, Fury paced the dais. He complimented his opponent, Francis Ngannou, whom Fury will face Oct. 28 (“You’re one good looking S.O.B,” Fury said), thanked the event’s host, Saudi Arabia, and praised Ngannou for walking away from UFC and betting on himself.
