re: Pelicans trade for Demarcus Cousins! (And Omri Casspi)

The Pels can put the best pacakage together for Cousins, Lopez, and Drummond. There aren't huge markets for any. It just comes down to whether those teams pull the trigger or don't. My bet is Sacto and Det choose not to move them. But who knows

Point is, Pels are willing to give up a bunch of picks and the guy who was their 2016 pick, showing unequivocally that they have no desire to build slowly. But if it is for a player that is worth it, so be it I guess. But best case scenario is that Jrue, AD, and Boogie are making 90-95 mil in two years. Back to being a top heavy team that better not get injured
