Most are saying the New Orleans Pelicans fleeced the Sacramento Kings in the blockbuster trade which brought DeMarcus Cousins to the Crescent City. Some have even gone as far as saying there are no downsides to this deal. And while the Pelicans gave up very little to bring in a player the caliber of Cousins, that isn’t quite true.
There is no doubting Cousins’ on court ability and production, but the big question mark has always been attitude/effort/temperament. I spoke to Leo Beas (@beasleo) of Cowbell Kingdom in today’s edition of Locked on Pelicans and he gives some great insight into why Pelicans fans should be a bit concerned.
