DeMarcus Cousins is officially excited to the leave the Sacramento Kings for the New Orleans Pelicans. Not so excited he’ll commit to re-signing with them, but happy enough to, well, sound happy enough. The Pelicans pulled out all the stops to make sure they were welcoming right way. Michael Lee detailed their efforts in a [...]
