1/ A video showing dozens of young men packed inside a dump truck, intercepted by Morocco's Gendarmerie Royale, is circulating widely on social media amid the Ceuta border crisis. Here is the geolocation.
After profiling the Lakers’ most logical signing, Walker Kessler, here’s deep-dive into their most surprising one.
Why did Lakers invest $52 million in Mamu, can he deliver, and if so, in what role?👇

Mamu is almost exclusively a catch-and-shoot threat, with 95% of his threes coming off the catch.
🏹 He shoots 39.8% above the break, forcing defenders to stay attached when he sets high ball screens.
📍The corner three (35.7%) remains the area with the most room for growth.
@AndBand7 Maxey, VJ e JB vanno a 1000 e Embiid e LeBron a 10. Conterà trovare lo sweet spot dove tutti possono ancora essere efficienti se si fa a turni dell’una e l’altra identità non la vedo benissimo.
💰 The contract may be a slight overpay,but it fills a real need.
🧩 Mamu gives Luka, Austin and JJ Redick a more versatile offensive package through spacing,DHOs, screening and off-ball movement.
🛡️ The defensive flaws are manageable in the right matchups.
I'd make the move.
Sandro Mamukelashvili—Mamu—doesn't generate many headlines, but he quietly became one of Toronto's most valuable role players.

New @LakeShowIta thread on why Mamu could be an ideal fit next to Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves. 🧵
Mamu's motor isn't the question.
💪 He contests more shots than his season average and consistently brings energy on defense.
📉 The next step is turning that effort into more rebounds. For a player with his size and role, that's an area where there's still room to grow.
Vorrei tornare sul caso Balogun, perché è un evento terribile e potenzialmente irreparabile, che dovrebbe essere e restare la prima notizia per qualsiasi mass media che si occupa del calcio per molto tempo.
Ci vorrà un po'.

Il prezzo per la squadra che ha i Bird Rights è diverso, succede ogni singola volta.
Rui non avrebbe mai mai mai accettato un contratto al ribasso dai Lakers, ma dopo una settimana di free agency lo accetta eccome, da altre squadre.
Quindi no, non è un'occasione persa dai Lakers.
@jacks3s@LakeShowIta I understand now, that is not the spotup percentage also because that is not the shooting card. That identity playtypes not shooting
Quentin Grimes isn't a superstar—but he looks like a natural fit next to Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves.

A low-usage 3-and-D "wing" built to complement stars. 👇
@LakeShowIta
Quentin Grimes isn't a perfect player.
He's not an elite shooter and lacks size for some wing matchups.
But if you're looking for a low-usg wing who plays off stars, defends multiple actions and competes, he's exactly the type contenders target.
I'd make the call.
Hustle is another underrated part of Grimes' game.

These plays rarely make highlights, but winning teams value them.
