It is hard to not be excited about the Pelicans absolute fleecing of the Kings in this DeMarcus Cousins trade. Getting a superstar is difficult. Getting a superstar to come to a small market is even harder. Getting a superstar to come to a small market when you don’t have elite assets to trade for him is almost impossible. But Dell Demps just pulled it off. But don’t think that he is just going to sit back and relax now, hoping that those three alone take this team to the top of the mountain. With Cousins on the books for one more year at a below market salary and Jrue’s cap hold this summer being much smaller than his eventual salary, New Orleans has a small window to strike in the next few months and add even more talent to this already stacked top three.
