DeMarcus Cousins

The Sacramento Kings traded DeMarcus Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans for what amounts to Buddy Hield, a mid-end first-round pick, a second-round pick and filler. If general manager Vlade Divac had his way, though, he would have netted one of the league’s brightest young players in any deal he struck. Here’s what Divac said [...]

Hello! Welcome to this space, where we will now confirm everything you suspected about the DeMarcus Cousins trade. Yes, the Sacramento Kings could have done better than Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, a top-three protected pick that probably won’t land in the top 10, and a second-round pick (via the Philadelphia 76ers! But still.). [...]

DeMarcus Cousins is officially excited to the leave the Sacramento Kings for the New Orleans Pelicans.

Now in the aftermath of one of the most high-profile trades the NBA has seen in years with DeMarcus Cousins joining Anthony Davis to form maybe the most talented front court in NBA history or at least since Hakeem Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson in the 1980s, more and more information is surfacing about what may [...]

Anthony Davis had a good Sunday night. Okay, fine: He had one of the best Sunday nights in the history of Sunday nights. First, he dropped 52 points during the Western Conference’s 192-182 All-Star Game victory over the Eastern Conference, breaking Wilt Chamberlain’s previous record of 42 points. Then, in front of the hometown New [...]

For the scant few of you holding out hope DeMarcus Cousins would become available leading into the NBA’s Feb. 23 deadline, it’s time to move on once and for all…at least until next year’s trade deadline.

Hey. Hi. Hello. How are you all? Good to hear. Take care. Oh, and real quick: Sacramento Kings general manager would like you to know he isn’t trading DeMarcus Cousins.
