New Orleans Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins delivered a heartfelt goodbye to the fans of Sacramento after spending his first seven seasons with the Kings.
The Kings send Cousins and forward Omri Casspi to New Orleans for guard Tyreke Evans, 2016 first-round draft pick Buddy Hield, guard Langston Galloway and first-and second-round draft picks this summer.
Cousins, who is averaging 27.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks this season, had a farewell dinner before departing to his new city.
“My love for this city has never changed … My love for this city has never changed. Even though I’m gone, it will still be the same," Cousins said.
