The second year of the NBA's two-night draft is in the books.

The Dallas Mavericks are on the clock. A new group of young prospects is set to enter the league when the 2025 NBA Draft gets underway. Dallas won the lottery in May with just 1.8% odds, landing first dibs at star Duke prospect Cooper Flagg.

There are several weeks and many practices before the 49ers determine their initial 53-man roster heading into the 2025 NFL season, but it's never too early to predict what players will be included on the list. As coach Kyle Shanahan says repeatedly throughout the process, the “initial” 53-man roster is fluid and ever-changing, as was exemplified in 2024.

Is there a trade involving the Giants that reminds Buster Posey, the president of baseball operations, of San Francisco’s recent blockbuster deal for three-time MLB All-Star Rafael Devers? Absolutely, and Posey doesn’t need to go digging through the club’s history books all that much. “I think back in my career when we added a guy by the name of Jake Peavy,” Posey shared on the MLB Network on Friday. “I was pretty excited.” Is Rafael Devers the biggest Giants trade since Jake Peavy?

Give the new guy some time. Bob Melvin, talking to KNBR’s “Murph and Markus” on Friday, shot down the idea of Rafael Devers playing first base in the Giants’ three-game series against the Boston Red Sox at Oracle Park. “Yeah, that’s not going to happen this weekend,” San Francisco’s manager told Brian Murphy and Markus Boucher. “We haven’t gotten there.

Great communication begins with connection. And as Rafael Devers’ confidant shared with ESPN’s Jeff Passan, perhaps towards the end of his tenure with the Red Sox, the 28-year-old lacked the connection with the team, leading to drama over his role in Boston. Earlier this season, the three-time MLB All-Star went from third base to designated hitter before eventually refusing to play first. "Sometimes it's not the message," the person close to Devers told Passan.

The 49ers expect to have a competitive defense during the 2025 NFL season in new defensive coordinator Robert Saleh’s second stint with San Francisco. Don’t say star 49ers tight end George Kittle didn’t warn you. “Violence is coming, is what I would say,” Kittle cautioned NFL teams about Saleh’s new-look defense on Wednesday’s edition of “The Rich Eisen Show” (h/t ClutchPoints’ Lorenzo J Reyna).

SAN FRANCISCO -- When the Rafael Devers press conference ended Tuesday, Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey went down to the field, but he wasn't there to take in any more of the day's craziness.

Giants notes: Bob Melvin explains his latest lineup changes after Rafael Devers addition

1 week ago | nbcsportsbayarea.com | Alex Pavlovic

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants are no longer living platoon life, but they still make tweaks to their lineup depending on whether they're facing a lefty or a righty. On Tuesday, Jung Hoo Lee led off against a right-hander. A night later he was hitting sixth against a lefty, with Heliot Ramos in the leadoff spot. Both nights, however, included Rafael Devers in the third spot, and that wasn't just to keep him comfortable as he settled in at Oracle Park.
