The New Orleans Pelicans set the NBA world on fire late Sunday night [Feb. 19th] after trading for superstar center DeMarcus Cousins of the Sacremento Kings. Mired in controversy and a consistent losing record, Cousins was likely headed out of Sacramento after the season. The Kings could not afford to lose Cousins as a free agent, hence the blockbuster trade right before the deadline.
The Pelicans traded Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway and a future first- and second-round to Sacramento for DeMarcus Cousins. A virtual no-brainer for the Pelicans; they are only two games out of the 8th spot in the Western Conference, do you think they will make they playoffs? What are your thoughts on the trade? Let us know in the comments.
