When the New Orleans Pelicans traded for DeMarcus Cousins, the deal was reported in total: Cousins and Omri Casspi for Buddy Hield, Langston Galloway, Tyreke Evans, the Pelicans 2017 first round pick, and the Sixers 2017 second round pick. However, if the NBA Trade Machine is to be believed, two transactions occurred. New Orleans arranged the trade as Evans and Galloway (just over $15 million in outgoing salary) for Cousins and Casspi (under $20 million in incoming salary) then Hield as a completely separate transaction where the Pelicans received a $3.
