As the Houston Rockets navigate an offseason of major change, a new challenge is emerging for the franchise -- the uncertainty of former MVP guards James Harden and Russell Westbrook on their futures with the team, sources told ESPN.
In the wake of the departures of head coach Mike D'Antoni and general manager Daryl Morey, Harden and Westbrook have expressed concern about the direction of the franchise through direct conversations or discussions with their representatives and the Rockets' front office, sources said.
Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta, recently promoted general manager Rafael Stone and recently hired head coach Stephen Silas have emphasized that the franchise remains committed to fielding a contender while featuring the two perennial All-Stars in their primes. However, the concerns expressed by Harden and Westbrook that Houston's window as a contender could be closing has left the organization fearful that the superstars' commitment to remaining with the Rockets could be wavering.
Harden, 31, has been an All-Star in all eight seasons since arriving in Houston, winning MVP in 2017-18 and finishing among the top three in voting four other times in the past six years, and claiming the NBA's past three scoring titles. He is owed $131.5 million over the three seasons remaining on his maximum contract, including a $46.9 million player option in 2022-23.
Westbrook, who will turn 32 on Thursday, is also owed $131.5 million over the next three seasons and has a $46.7 million player option in 2022-23. He won the 2016-17 MVP and made his ninth All-Star appearance last season, which ended with Westbrook playing through rust and injury after rushing back from a strained right quadriceps during the first round of the playoffs.
Both stars were consulted during the Rockets' coaching search and were on board with hiring Silas, sources said.
Harden, who has said publicly several times that he hopes to play the remainder of his career in Houston, has expressed similar urgency in the past several offseasons about improving the Rockets' chances to win a championship. He remains engaged in discussions with Houston's front office about potential personnel moves this offseason, sources said.
The only officer to be charged in the Breonna Taylor case is just now accused of sexual assault -- something the alleged victim claims his bosses knew about, but did nothing to correct.
Margo Borders is suing Brett Hankison, claiming he sexually assaulted her in 2018 after a night out at a bar where he worked security. She says she was drunk around closing time, and Hankison offered her a ride home.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Borders alleges Hankison invited himself into her home and plopped down on the couch, while she went into her bedroom to change.
Borders says she passed out, but claims Hankison came into her room, got naked and sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious. When she finally woke up, she claims she screamed for him to get off her, and Hankison grabbed his uniform and left.
The next day, Borders claims Hankison contacted her, insisting they'd engaged in consensual relations. She also claims more than 10 other anonymous women have come forward to make statements about Hankison's alleged misconduct with them.
She's also suing several of his co-workers and supervisors -- on the police force and at the bar -- claiming they were aware of his alleged abuse but never took action to stop it.
It doesn't sound like Borders herself filed a police report, but she claims several of the other women made police reports that never got pursued.
As you know, Hankison was charged with wanton endangerment in the Breonna Taylor case ... for allegedly shooting into a neighboring apartment, but not for shooting and killing Breonna.
He's pled not guilty, and has been fired from LMPD.
An NYPD police officer and four others were arrested on federal charges of conspiracy to import and distribute cocaine, federal prosecutors said Monday.
Over the course of almost five years, Amaury Abreu, 34, was an alleged member of a multinational drug trafficking operation and used his position within the NYPD to "protect his co-conspirators," the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York announced in a press release.
Dating back to Jan. 2016, prosecutors allege Abreu provided law enforcement information to others in the trafficking operation to conceal their actions and checked warrants on its members. In at least one instance, feds said, he distributed cocaine.
"Today I’m going to find out the thing I couldn’t yesterday because there were too many people at the office," Abreu said in one message to the traffickers, according to court records.
Officials from the FBI arrested Abreu, who was assigned to the 113th Precinct, at his Long Island home Monday morning, the district attorney's office said. He entered a plea of not guilty Monday afternoon in federal court and was released on a $1 million bond with home detention.
“There is no place for corruption in the NYPD and it will always be prosecuted fully. We commend our IAB investigators and law enforcement partners in this case,” a statement from NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea read.
Abreu was charged with conspiring to import and distribute cocaine. He did not yet have a defense attorney who could comment on the charges. He has been with the NYPD nine years and is suspended without pay, the Police Department said.
Seth DuCharme, the Brooklyn U.S. attorney, said in a statement that Abreu “disgraced his NYPD badge and betrayed the public trust as well as fellow members of law enforcement who put their lives on the line to interdict drugs that endanger our communities.”
Federal prosecutors also charged two high-ranking members of the New York-based group and the owner of a Long Island produce company accused of receiving cocaine concealed in cardboard tomato boxes.
Authorities said the ring also relied on help from a corrupt U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer to escort drug shipments through customs and baggage claim at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
“Officer Abreu and his co-conspirators served as a direct pipeline for the importation and distribution of cocaine in our city, as we allege today. While Abreu’s principal role in the DTO was more behind the scenes than out on the street, his double-dealing method of providing information and guidance to those who were on the front line of the illegal enterprise put the lives and safety of both the citizens of this city and his fellow NYPD officers at risk,” FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Sweeney said.

ROCKMART, Ga. (AP) — Police have jailed a woman in Georgia accused of pretending to be an FBI agent to score a free fast-food meal, saying she allegedly threatened to arrest restaurant workers if they didn’t serve her a complimentary bite.
Kimberly Ragsdale, 47, of Dallas, was charged Thursday with impersonating a public officer following repeated attempts to get free meals at a Chick-Fil-A, according to a Rockmart Police arrest report obtained by news outlets.
Employees at the restaurant told investigators that Ragsdale showed up at the location multiple times during the week and posed as a federal agent while driving a white minivan, and also threatened to take employees into custody if they didn’t comply, the police report said.
It added that the woman continued the farce as police arrived to arrest her in the restaurant parking lot Thursday, reportedly claiming to officers that she was an FBI agent and that her credentials were electronic. While being handcuffed, she allegedly began to “talk into her shirt like she was talking into a radio telling someone that we were arresting her and to send someone to Rockmart PD,” officers wrote in the arrest report.
“You will not hear a real officer demand a meal anywhere,” Chief Randy Turner told news outlets. “If it is given, we appreciate it. If it is discounted, we appreciate it. We will not ask for it or make threats and demand it.”
Ragsdale was booked into jail Thursday and released on $3,000 bond by Saturday, online jail records showed.
CHICAGO (AP) — A judge on Friday ordered a Chicago man held without bond in the fatal shooting of his girlfriend, her mother and her sister after the girlfriend refused to cook him breakfast and braid his hair.
Authorities say John Matthews fled to Iowa after the June 22 shooting of Shonta Harris, 24, her mother, Frances Neal, 56, and her sister, Jasmine Neal, 27. He was arrested Thursday in Burlington, Iowa, after being identified as a murder suspect.
Prosecutors told Cook County Circuit Judge Charles Beach II that they have a videotaped statement from the girlfriend that points to Matthews, 25, as the shooter. They also say Matthews’ own grandmother told authorities that he was the killer. Beach ordered Matthews held without bail on three counts of first-degree murder.
Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy said after Harris told Matthews she wasn’t feeling well and wouldn’t cook breakfast or braid his hair, an enraged Matthews punched her. His grandmother tried to defuse the situation by taking Harris outside. But Matthews followed them and was yelling at Harris as she called her mother for help, Murphy said. When Harris’ mother and sister arrived the arguing continued, with Matthews allegedly pulling a gun and shooting all three.
Frances and Jasmine Neal were pronounced dead at the scene. Harris died Sept. 5.
Murphy said Matthews and Harris dated for two years, and had a son, who was 4 months old at the time of the shootings.
Assistant Public Defender Rocio Armendariz told the judge Matthews has no previous criminal history.

Bert Belasco -- famous from BET's "Let's Stay Together" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.
Bert's father, Bert Sr., tells us his son's body was found Sunday inside a hotel room in Richmond, VA -- where we're told he was about to start on a project for a new movie role. Bert Sr. says Bert was required to quarantine at the hotel before he could come on set.
While the circumstances of his death are unclear, we do know Bert's girlfriend couldn't get a hold of him and eventually asked hotel staff to check on him. We're told when he was discovered, there was blood on the sheets -- the family is awaiting autopsy results.
His father tells us he believes his son suffered a fatal aneurysm.
Bert's career was well on the way up -- even at his young age, he's already racked up 23 acting credits and had starred in a bunch of shows and movies. Obviously, he's perhaps most well-known for playing Charles Whitmore on 'LST' for 52 episodes between 2011 and 2014.
He also appeared on several episodes of "Pitch," "I'm Dying Up Here," and has lots of one-off roles in series such as "American Princess," "Superstore," "The Mick," "The Soul Man," "No Names," "The Big Show Show," 'NCIS,' 'Key and Peele,' 'Justified' and others.
