Major signing alert! 27+25+13! The Lakers officially acquire a new superstar

Doncic recorded 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists for a triple-double, Reeves contributed 26 points and 11 assists for a double-double, and LaRavia scored 25 points, summing up to 80 points.

These three white players are supporting the Lakers' current form, with the purple and gold team sitting at 5 wins and 2 losses, holding third place in the Western Conference.

Here are the Lakers' full team statistics:

Here are the full team stats for the Heat:

During the Lakers' three-game winning streak, LaRavia posted 27 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal; then 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals; followed by 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 steals. His averages stand at 21.7 points, 7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.7 steals per game, with shooting percentages of 78.1% and 66.7%, and an impressive true shooting percentage of 87.2%.

This guy was born on November 3, 2001, just turning 24 years old. Standing 2.01 meters tall as a wing player, he was the 19th pick in the first round of the 2022 draft. This summer, he signed a two-year, $12 million contract with the Lakers. Initially, his signing was met with skepticism, but now countless people are praising it as a steal.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. Although LaRavia looks delicate and is primarily a shooter, he can unleash ferocious dunks. Miami’s 2.13-meter starting center, Caleb Weaver, found himself posterized by him.

Is LaRavia the Lakers’ best signing this summer? So far, yes. Even Ayton and Smart have to take a step back.

With LaRavia’s breakout, some have started to criticize LeBron James, picking relatively mild comments such as the following:

So far, LeBron has yet to play a game this season due to sciatica. This is a contract year for him, with a salary of $52.63 million. The Lakers currently have no plans to renew his contract.

To be fair, with the Lakers showing great chemistry now, is there still a spot for LeBron? When management realizes the team can thrive without him, they are even less likely to offer a renewal to the superstar who is about to turn 41.

As for the future of Prince Brownie... he just completed his first alley-oop dunk in his NBA career, electrifying the crowd and igniting social media. Although he only scored 2 points in the game against the Heat, he also recorded 2 assists and 3 steals.
