Over the last three years, the New Orleans Pelicans have discovered that transactions are a lot like time travel: You never know how one decision will affect the future.
On February 20, 2017 the Pelicans made what would be a disastrous trade for DeMarcus Cousins.
They were trying to add talent around Anthony Davis, so traded Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, Buddy Hield and a 2017 1st and 2nd round pick for the mercurial Cousins.
Those picks ended up being Jason Collins and Frank Mason III respectively.
