4 starts for Heliot Ramos now, and here's how they've gone:

• RBI single
• 2-hit game with a double
• Perhaps the best defensive performance of the year
• 2-hit game with an RBI

It's very early, but he's running with the opportunity right now.

C- NFC RANKS BY ALBERT BREER— ARE 49ERS STILL ON TOP? 



1) San Francisco 49ers: They’re still the most complete team in the conference. And if they hit on first-round receiver Ricky Pearsall, who’s older and more NFL-ready than a lot of his peers, and Brock Purdy takes another step, look out. Health, to me, is really the only question because it’s the one thing that can take down any team.

2) Detroit Lions: Yeah, it’s chalky to put last season’s conference finalists first and second. But so many of Detroit’s top players are still ascending—Aidan Hutchinson, Brian Branch, Jack Campbell, Penei Sewell, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs, just to name a few—and the staff, incredibly, returns intact. It’s hard not to see a heck of an encore to last year’s breakthrough for Dan Campbell’s crew.

3) Philadelphia Eagles: The team needs young guys to step up on the lines of scrimmage, with bedrocks Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox retired. A lot rides on guys such as Cam Jurgens, Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter living up to their potential. There are also two new coordinators. But the ceiling here is still sky-high.

4) Los Angeles Rams: The loss of Aaron Donald makes me a little nervous about putting Los Angeles this high. Obviously, that’s no small loss. Still, Sean McVay guided a team undergoing an extensive cap reset (carrying $75 million in dead money) to the playoffs, and guys such as Puka Nacua, Byron Young, Kobie Turner and Kyren Williams should only get better. I love Jared Verse and Braden Fiske coming aboard, too.

5) Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love made a major leap late in the year, and I think you can take his trajectory and—without calling him Aaron Rodgers—compare it favorably to Rodgers in 2008 and ’09. Also, I love the young skill group that’s going to grow up with him, and defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley will supercharge a talented defense. The big question lingering from there, then, will be how things shake out along the offensive line.



3- NBA PLAYOFFS…..


A- I TOOK THE NUGGETS AT 18-1 WHEN THEY WERE DOWN 2-0 TO TWOLVES….


B- TO ME — IT’S GONG TO BE NUGGETS AND CELTICS…. 

EAST:
KNICKS - APCERS 2-2—- NEW YORK JUST TOO BEAT UP — BRUNSON HAS TO DO ALL SCORING — NO OG, NO RANDLE. 
CLETICS LEAD CAVS 2-1– 

WEST:
MAVS LEAD OKC 2-1 — OKC NEEDS EXPEREINCE HAVE STUMBLED DOWN STRETCH OF GAMES 
DENVER—MINN 2-2— TWOLVES HAD THEIR CHANCE…. 


LAKERS: 
-HOEP THEY DRAFT BRONNY, SIGN REDDICK AS HC—- WOUILD BE LEBRON GM MOVES… 


WARRIORS GIVE UP PICK TO PORTLAND IN LAST PART OF IGUODALA TRADE TO MEMPHIS


HOW IT GOT TO PORTLAND: 

Let’s start with the summer of 2019 to map out the long road taken by the No. 14 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, originally owned by Golden State. 

Within a half hour of the Warriors completing a sign-and-trade between them and the Nets to acquire D’Angelo Russell with Kevin Durant choosing Brooklyn in free agency, then-general manager Bob Myers sent Andre Iguodala to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of a salary dump. The Warriors’ 2024 first-round pick (top-four protected) also was part of the trade, and would have become a No. 1 protected 2025 first-round pick and then an unprotected 2026 first-round pick if it didn't convey to Portland this year or next



The Grizzlies finally used the Warriors’ original pick to help them acquire 2021-22 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart from the Boston Celtics this past June, as part of a three-team deal that saw the Celtics add Kristaps Porzingis from the Washington Wizards, a 7-foot-2 former heralded prospect who helped unleash the best of Boston this season. The pick settled in Beantown for all of 100 days before a country-wide flight from Boston to Portland. 

Four days after Damian Lillard’s offseason of trade drama landed him on the Milwaukee Bucks as part of a three-team deal that also sent Jrue Holiday from the Bucks to Lillard’s previous team in Portland, the Celtics then used the Warriors’ 2024 first-round pick to help them land Holiday from the Blazers. 

So to recap, the Warriors’ 2024 first-round pick helped the Grizzlies get Smart, as well as the Celtics bringing both Porzingis and Holiday aboard. But it also played a role in the Warriors giving Andrew Wiggins a new home.
