The new signature of Lakers Jake Laravia wins Hearts with a strong declaration before playing with LeBron and Luka

The La Lakers were occupied this offseason, building LeBron James and Luka Doncic. After adding Deandre Ayton, they signed striker Jake Laravia, who was presented on Tuesday at the media.

After having signed a recruit contract of $ 14.7 million over four years with the Grizzlies of Memphis, Laravia had a club option in her contract, which the Kings of Sacramento refused, allowing her to enter free will. However, he did not have to wait a long time to find a team, because the Lakers took him on a contract of $ 12 million over two years.

The Lakers journalist, Mike Trudell, shared Laravia’s declaration of his presentation on X (formerly Twitter) while the striker shared his reflections on the game alongside LeBron James and Luka Doncic.

“I play hard. I give everything every night. Whether I take missing photos or shots, the only thing I can control each game brings this energy. … I have always been this type of player that does not abandon games. I love basketball,” said Laravia.

His words won the hearts of fans of the Lakers.

“I love it,” reacts.

“Great,” said another.

After the Rivals of the Pacific Sacramento, Kings, decided not to sign Ravia, the Lakers quickly moved to sign the 23 -year -old man. Written by Memphis’ grizzles as the 19th choice in total in the 2022 draft, Laravia has increased regularly in the three years since then.

Playing 35 games each during her first two seasons, Laravia made 47 appearances per quarter before being exchanged to the Kings as part of a trade with three teams. In Sacramento, the young person played 19 games, recording 6.1 ppg and 2.1 RPG.

“It’s great, I have never played with a guy like this, the simple fact of being exchanged in Los Angeles was different, playing guys like him is incredible.”
