DeMarcus Cousins is on the New Orleans Pelicans. It’s been a couple weeks since it happened, but the sentence still feels weird coming out of your mouth, or off your typing fingers. The league’s most dominant offensive big man since Shaquille O’Neal has a new home, and it’s not where anyone expected it to be, even as rumours about his future constantly swirled, lo these past two seasons.
At 26 years old, and the height of his powers, he’s been paired with the Brow, Anthony Davis, who is set to turn 24 years old just next week.
