Last night after the All-Star game, the New Orleans Pelicans made a blockbuster trade with the Sacramento Kings. The Pelicans received All-Star Center, DeMarcus Cousins and Omri Casspi from the Kings. The Kings received Buddy Hield, a struggling sixth overall pick from the 2016 draft, Tyreke Evans, a good player, but an injury prone player, Langston Galloway, who probably will get waived. The Kings also, received New Pelicans 2017 first round pick, which is top three protected, and a 2nd round pick that the Pelicans received from the Philadelphia 76ers.
The trade shocked everybody, especially when the Kings management had said earlier in the week that Cousins will not be traded. DeMarcus Cousins has been averaging 27.8 points per game, 10.8 rebounds per game, and 4.8 assists per game this season. We will see how the two former Kentucky stars, Anthony Davis, and DeMarcus Cousins will mesh on the court, in New Orleans.
