NBA Blockbuster: DeMarcus Cousins traded to the Pelicans

[realmofotalk]

Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway and a future first- and second-round to Sacramento for DeMarcus Cousins, league sources say.

I was rushing to post this last night as soon as I saw hit Twitter, but this site was down at the time. When I first saw the headline, I honestly thought it was going to be a swap of Cousins for Anthony Davis, considering the trade speculation of Davis to OKC. But instead we get the biggest trade rape since Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Marc Gasol, Aaron McKie, and two late first round picks.

Cleveland Browns: "we're the best franchise in sports at sucking."

Sacramento Kings: "hold my beer."

Apparently the Lakers turned down a trade for Cousins because they didn't want to give up Ingram.

I don't regret their drafting Ingram and I like his ability to play defense, but I would've made that trade in a heartbeat. They keep waiting for Randle, Russell, Ingram, or Clarkson to step up as the go-to guy on offense, and it's not happening. It reminds of the Dodgers' young core of Kemp, Ethier, Martin, and Loney who didn't accomplish shit until they dealt Andy Laroche for Manny Ramirez.
