You never know who you’ll come across living in Calabasas. The Game lives down the street from Kevin Hart and, this week, the comedian made an unannounced visit before trying to run off with one of the rapper’s most expensive possessions.

“When ya neighbors come over unannounced to borrow sugar lol,” wrote The Game on Instagram, sharing a video of Kevin Hart pulling up on a flashy motorcycle and bartering a trade for his Lamborghini.

“He tried to trade me the motorcycle for the Lambo,” says Game in the clip.

“I ain’t got much… I just pull up. That’s how I do,” replies Hart.

Apparently, the comedian/actor was nice enough to bring by some extra gloves and masks to ensure his neighbor stays safe during the coronavirus pandemic. The good deed didn’t help him much though. He still ended up leaving on the same vehicle he pulled up on.

The Game included a number of funny hashtags in his caption, writing: “@kevinhart4real #CallFirstNextTimeKevin #BikeBiggerThanYouHeadAhhhh #iThoughtHeWasSellinChocolate #MyN***aEvenIfYouDontGetNoBigga #Literally.”

Maybe next time, Kevin will have better luck. Now, he knows that the motorcycle won’t do it. He’s got to add some incentive for The Game to even bite.

Do you think he’ll pull up with more in a week?

Former Boston Celtics Player Kendrick Perkins says Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen once held a boxing match, while beefing with each other.

"It was a point in time where Rondo was up there as probably like top five point guards in the league," Perkins explained in an interview on SiriusXM NBA Radio, this week. "You had Derrick Rose, you had Chris Paul, and then the next person that was coming to mind was Rondo. Like a Tony Parker, but Rondo was right there. He was making multiple All-Star games, breaking assists records, getting triple-doubles. ... And it was the 2009-2010 season—no, 2008-2009, where [it] came up that, you know, New Orleans was—Chris Paul wanted out, I guess. And it was rumors started to circulate and it was brought to the table that what if we trade Rondo and get CP." 

Charles Barkley is easily one of the most hilarious characters in the history of the NBA. He always has some funny stories to tell and isn’t shy to give his very honest truth about everything that is happening in the league. Barkley is a legend in his own right as he started his career with the Philadelphia 76ers and eventually moved on to the Phoenix Suns.

During his stint with the 76ers, Barkley was looking to be traded and at one point, it seemed likely that he would be joining the Los Angeles Lakers. While appearing on The Lowe podcast, Barkley admitted that his agent told him a deal to L.A. had been finalized, only to fall through later that day. Barkley jumped the gun and started celebrating with some drinks before being told that he had to play with the 76ers that night. Needless to say, he played a game while drunk.

Per Barkley:

“My agent calls me one morning and he says ‘hey, you’re going to get traded to the Lakers today.’ And me and my friends, we go out and celebrate and get drunk around noon…. He calls me later and says ‘hey you’ve been traded to the Lakers, they’re going to finalize the deal and I’ll get back to you.’ I’m on cloud nine, he calls me back three hours later, it’s like 3:30 now, he says ‘the Sixers backed out of the deal.’ And I’m drunk as [bleeped expletive] and we got a game that night, and I’m like ‘what? What are you talking about?’ And he’s like ‘the Sixers were scared to pull the trigger.’ So I’m like ‘you’re kidding me, dude we got a game tonight and I’ve been drinking since noon.’ The one thing that’s funny, I don’t even know how I played that night. I think I might have played so bad because I was so angry the Sixers didn’t pull the trigger, and then it’s just suffering the next two or three years.”

This is easily one of the best stories Barkley has given us over the years and you really have to feel for the guy. Anybody would be celebrating that hard after a trade to the Lakers.

For decades now, the New York Knicks have been a bit of a laughing stock within the NBA. Their front office is constantly making bad decisions and as a result, the team hasn't had any success in both the regular season or playoffs. At this point, Knicks fans expect the team to make bad choices and they expect them to not end up with the players they truly want.

According to Ian Begley of SNY, the Knicks were trying to make a big move at the trade deadline and were interested in D'Angelo Russell of the Golden State Warriors. In fact, the Knicks offered the Warriors Bobby Portis, Allonzo Trier, and Frank Ntilikina. The Warriors ended up rejecting this trade and sent Russell to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Andrew Wiggins, instead. 

Rob Gronkowski retired back in 2019 but he still had a couple of years left on his contract with the New England Patriots. The Patriots kept his contract on the books just in case he decided to come back. However, Gronkowski always made it clear that he would never play with a quarterback other than Tom Brady. Well, now, Brady is with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and it just so happens that Gronk wants to play again. Put two and two together and you quickly realize that for Gronk to go to Tampa Bay, the Patriots would have to trade him. Today, that's exactly what they did.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Patriots are sending Gronk and a seventh-round pick to Tampa Bay in exchange for a fourth-rounder.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Jacksonville Jaguars are exploring options to trade running back Leonard Fournette.

"Jaguars have had trade discussions with other teams regarding RB Leonard Fournette, league sources tell ESPN. Fournette is due $4.16 million in base salary in 2020. It's a situation that bears watching as this week's draft approaches," Schefter said on Twitter. "Jaguars already scheduled to have 12 picks in this draft, tied with the Patriots and Vikings for second-most in league behind Miami’s 14. And this is before any potential trades for RB Leonard Fournette and DE Yannick Ngakoue."

The Jags, if they choose to, must exercise Fournette's fifth-year option by May 4.

Fournette's 1,152 rushing yards, last year, were a career-high for the fourth overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He also caught 76 passes and recorded 1,674 yards from scrimmage, which ranked sixth in the league.

Fournette's strong showing last season helped silence critics. After his first two seasons in the NFL, Fournette's work ethic, commitment, and maturity came under scrutiny from his detractors.

During an appearance on ESPN's First Take, Fournette advocated for the team signing Cam Newton: "Cam went to the Super Bowl. He's a great guy. I've been knowing Cam for a minute now. And like I told some people that talked to me, it's no disrespect to [Gardner Minshew]. I'm just trying to get in the best position as a team as we can [to] win. That's all that was about. Just friendly competition 'cause that brings out the best in people."

Odell Beckham Jr. is not about to be the new man on the Minnesota Vikings, contrary to several reports from credible sources.

Rumors were flying this morning that the Minnesota Vikings were prepared to make a major trade with the Cleveland Browns for star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. but, according to new sources, those claims are false.

"Just asked somebody who would know if #Vikings and Browns discussing deal for OBJ. Response was 'Fake News.' I believe the source," tweeted Paul Allen of KFAN.

According to Clutch Points, the reported trade included a second and fifth-round pick in next year's draft. To be completely honest, the trade was pretty unrealistic in the first place since many believe OBJ is worth more than that package.

The Minnesota Vikings could certainly use some help after trading away Stefon Diggs, but they do not appear to be seeking a trade with the Browns to get there.

Beckham remains one of the most sought-after wide receivers in the league. He has been a star for years, proving his global appeal with the catch heard around the world. 

Do you think he would have been a good fit on the Vikings or can you see him gearing up with a different team when the season starts?

Back in 2011, the Los Angeles Lakers were about to pull off the greatest finesse known to mankind. They had made a trade with the New Orleans Hornets that would send Chris Paul to Los Angeles and somehow, the Lakers would save $40 million in the process. At the time, the Hornets were in shambles and were technically owned by the league. Commissioner David Stern felt like the deal was a bit of a farce so he decided to veto it, much to the chagrin of Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, the Lakers, and fans of the purple and gold, all around the world.

Stern and Kobe have both passed on since then and recently, Paul joined Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes for an episode of the "All The Smoke" podcast. In the clip below, Paul talked about the vetoed trade and how it disappointed him greatly. It was his one chance to get to play with Kobe Bryant and it was ultimately squandered.

Jimmy Butler has consistently proven himself to be one of the hardest-working players in the NBA over the last couple of seasons although his reputation is that of a player that doesn’t get along with his teammates. His tenure in Miami has disproven this very notion although there are some NBA executives who are still wary of the star. 

Back in June of 2017, the Chicago Bulls decided to move on from Jimmy Butler and traded him to the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he lasted about a season. During an IG live session with Carmelo Anthony, Butler explained how he was with Melo and Dwyane Wade in Paris when he got the call that he was being dealt. As he explains, the whole situation hurt him dearly. 

“Ya’ll helped me through that though,” Butler said. “I remember sitting at the dinner and ya’ll was like, ‘Yo, you’re still a helluva player. You’re gonna go do what you were doing in Chicago in Minnesota. You’re gonna change the culture there…I was hurt.”

Things ended up working out for Butler as he is now thriving on a young Miami Heat squad that could play spoiler in the Eastern Conference if the playoffs end up going on as planned. At this point, we’re sure Bulls fans wish they still had Butler on the roster.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend were so desperate for romaine lettuce following the panic shopping caused by the coronavirus outbreak, that she offered to bake a loaf of homemade banana bread for anyone with the desired goods. As the coronavirus pandemic causes most of the world to stay indoors as much as they can, plenty of people have taken to stocking up their food supply. It's unknown at the moment how long this situation will last, particularly in the United States where Chrissy and her family live, since the country just surpassed both China and Italy for the highest total amount of confirmed cases of COVID-19. As a result of the uncertainty and subsequent panic that the pandemic has caused, many grocery store shelves have been cleared out, causing shortages of tons of necessities, including romaine lettuce, apparently.

Among her many skills like modelling, hosting television shows, and being heavily "online," Chrissy fancies herself quite the awesome chef, even curating her own cookbook. However, while she and her husband, John Legend, and their two young children, Luna and Miles, are stuck in quarantine, Chrissy is finding herself without some of the key ingredients to make her meals. The Internet personality tweeted out on Monday offering anyone who has romaine lettuce a loaf of homemade banana bread in exchange, specifying that the trade would be made "6 feet apart."
