MANILA, Philippines – The Sacramento Kings have traded center DeMarcus Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans, according to a report by The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Sunday, February 19 (Monday in Manila).

The Pelicans are reportedly sending 2017 first and second round draft picks to go with Buddy HieldTyreke Evans and Langston Galloway for Cousins.

Forward Omri Casspi will be joining Cousins to the Pelicans.

Minutes after news broke, Cousins’ manager posted a photo of a jet on Twitter with the caption: “We don’t even know where to go…”


 

Report of the trade broke hours after the West defeated the East, 192-182, in the NBA All Star Game, in which Pelicans star big man Anthony Davis was named MVP after smashing Wilt Chamberlain’s previous 42-point All Star scoring record with 52 of his own.


Now Davis will have a solid big man partner in fellow West All Star Cousins, who has been averaging 27.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game this season.

The All Star Game, hosted by New Orleans, also went down as the highest scoring game in league history. – Rappler.com
