Report via Houston Chronicle - In a summer of stunners that had rocked the NBA, the Rockets on Thursday pulled off what could be the largest of them all, trading for 2017 NBA MVP Russell Westbrook to reunite him in a dramatically transformed backcourt with James Harden, two individuals with knowledge of the deal said.
The Rockets will send Chris Paul to the Oklahoma City Thunder along with two first-round picks and the right to swap picks in two additional drafts. ESPN initially reported the trade.
Westbrook and Harden had strongly favored the move and a chance to play in a backcourt together, as they did for Harden's first three seasons together, a person with knowledge of their thinking had said.
Westbrook had met with the Thunder front office this week to say he would welcome a trade following the Paul George departure to the Clippers, but an individual with knowledge of the talks said he had initially broached the subject after the OKC season ended with a first-round loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.
Paul will return to Oklahoma City, where he played after Hurricane Katrina forced the New Orleans Hornets to play during Paul's first two NBA seasons.

Report via TMZ -- R. Kelly has been arrested on federal sex charges ... TMZ has confirmed.
Kelly was arrested Thursday in Chicago on charges contained in a 13-count indictment returned in the Northern District of Illinois. Joseph Fitzpatrick, spokesperson for The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Northern District, says the indictment includes charges of child porn and obstruction of justice.
R. Kelly was in court in Chicago in June where he pled not guilty to 11 felonies related to sexual assault and various abuse in Illinois. The Cook County State's Attorney's Office charged him with 5 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, 4 counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault and 2 counts of criminal sexual assault.
In those legal docs, Kelly is accused of forcing contact between his penis and the alleged victim's mouth and committing an act of sexual penetration on a victim listed only as "J.P." The alleged incident occurred in January 2010, when the victim was under the age of 18.

Report via New York Post -- Missouri law enforcement was able to “sniff out” the location of a person wanted for possession of a controlled substance over the weekend after the suspect passed gas so loudly that it gave up his or her hiding spot, officials said.
The Clay County Sherriff’s Department posted on Facebook to share how flatulence played a role in the arrest outside the City of Liberty, Mo.
“If you’ve got a felony warrant for your arrest, the cops are looking for you and you pass gas so loud it gives up your hiding spot, you’re definitely having a shitty day. #ItHappened,” the sheriff’s office said. The department posted a photo of officers using police dogs in a wooded area as part of their search.
Officials have not released the name of the suspect or provided more information about the case.
“We’ve gotta give props to Liberty PD for using their senses to sniff him out!” the sheriff’s department told St. Louis’ Fox 2 after the station reached out for more information about the case.
The Liberty City Police Department was “surprised” to see the incident “slip out, which stinks for the arrestee,” the City of Liberty said on Twitter. The city also gave props to officers for “airing out a wanted person’s dirty laundry and fanning the flames.”
No one was injured in the arrest, the city said.

LARGO, Fla. (WFLA) – A Pinellas County Dunkin’ Donuts manager was arrested for grand theft this week after police say she hired a fake employee to pocket more money for herself.
Pinellas Park police arrested 29-year-old Markia Nelson Monday morning. An arrest report identifies Nelson as a store manager at the Dunkin’ on Ulmerton Road near 40th Street North in Largo.
According to the arrest report, Nelson hired a “fictitious person” on May 15, 2019. From May 16 through July 6, police say Nelson punched in and punched out the fake employee, logging a total of 235 hours.
The arrest report says the fake employee earned $8.65 an hour. The fake employee earned a total of $1,610.84.

Report via WBUR -- A Massachusetts teenager convicted of fatally stabbing and then decapitating a high school classmate has been sentenced to life in prison.
Mathew Borges, 18, of Lawrence, will be eligible for parole in 30 years under the maximum allowable sentence handed down on Tuesday by Superior Court Judge Helene Kanzajian.
A jury convicted Borges in May of first-degree murder in the November 2016 killing of 16-year-old Lee Manuel Viloria-Paulino. Viloria-Paulino's decapitated body and head were found along the banks of a river by a dog walker.
Prosecutors say Borges was jealous the victim had spent time with a girl he liked.
Under Massachusetts law, a first-degree murder conviction carries a life sentence without the possibility of parole for adults. But parole eligibility must be added if the crime was committed as a juvenile.

He explained that managers and publicists first started stepping in, but Willie D made it clear that the group members have always communicated between themselves without the help of others.
In addition, Willie D revealed that Bushwick Bill had a problem with the tour being called "The Beginning of a Long Goodbye," which Bill felt was about his cancer diagnosis. After Willie D explained to him in person that the tour name didn't have to do with his cancer, Bill agreed, only to turn around and be defiant about calling the tour "F*** Cancer."

Report via TMZ -- A$AP Rocky is being held in a Swedish jail with shockingly inhumane conditions -- feces hurled about and not cleaned up, wretched food and facilities that are not fit for human beings ... this according to sources with direct knowledge of Rocky's situation.
Our sources tell TMZ ... the rapper is sleeping on a yoga mat with no blankets. There is a prisoner in the next cell with severe mental issues who slams his head against the concrete wall and hurls feces every which way ... feces that are not cleaned up.
The water, we're told, is not clean and the food is not edible ... for the first 5 days A$AP Rocky ate an apple a day, and that's it.
We're told the facility is filthy and "disease ridden."
As we reported, A$AP Rocky is being held for 2 weeks while prosecutors decide whether to charge him for aggravated assault stemming from a street brawl ... despite a video showing the alleged victim harassing and even physically attacking Rocky and his crew prior to the incident.
There is a treaty -- the Vienna Convention for Consular Relations -- which both Sweden and the United States signed. Under the treaty, when a foreigner like A$AP Rocky is arrested, he has a right to immediately see an official from the U.S. Consulate. Our sources say Rocky asked for the meeting, but when an official from the American Consulate arrived at the detention center to meet him, he was squarely denied access -- a clear violation of the treaty.
Our sources say the U.S. official believes he was denied access because Swedish officials did not want him to see the conditions inside the facility.
Rocky's team persisted and eventually the consulate official was allowed to see him 2 days later, but only in the presence and earshot of 2 Swedish guards. Rocky and the official could not have a private conversation and they believe it was "a clear intimidation tactic."
Our sources say Rocky's team is trying to get the State Dept. involved to help get him out. So far, the Swedish courts have shut him down. By the way ... court proceedings in Sweden are closed to the public and the media.
