On July 1, Beijing time, the door to free market trading officially opened, and the Lakers quickly completed the first signing signing, according to Shams, the Lakers will sign free agent Tollian Prince. Later, the famous WOJ revealed that the Lakers and Prince signed a one-year, $4.5 million two-year special contract, and they still retain a full middle class.

Not long ago, the Timberwolves announced that they would cut Prince, and he completed a two-year, $14.55 million signing with the Timberwolves in '22, with $7.4 million unguaranteed in the '23-24 season. The Timberwolves eventually abandoned Prince in order to avoid taxes, and since then the overall Timberwolves' salary has been $15.6 million below the luxury tax line.
