As the Cleveland Cavaliers do their best to present Donovan Mitchell with a contract offer they hope he can’t refuse this summer, the Houston Rockets are among the teams that could pursue him in a trade.

As for whether that story is actually true, that depends on which Osbourne you ask. Ozzy says yes, but Sharon isn’t sure. **From The Osbournes:** Jack: “Did you actually snort ants?” Ozzy: “Yeah.” Jack: “Did he actually snort ants Mom?” Sharon: “I was not there, thank God. I used to try and stay away from Motley when they were with Ozzy. I don’t know. All I know is that I think it made their movie. And I wanna know why, now we’re on the subject, of why, when they advertise their movie on Netflix, it’s a picture of a guy imitating Ozzy.
