When visiting with Anthony Davis on Sunday night after New Orleans’ road win in Dallas, I had the chance to ask him if he thinks the Pelicans will succeed in re-signing DeMarcus Cousins in free agency this summer in the wake of Cousins’ recent season-ending surgery.

Said Davis: “I hope so. That’s a decision he has to make. I’m pretty confident that he’ll stay. From what I hear, he plans on it. But I’m going to keep selling the dream here. I’ll be very involved — I want him here.”

At the time of Cousins’s injury, New Orleans’s two big men were on a pace to become the first teammates in league history to both average at least 25 points and 10 rebounds over the course of a full season and had both been voted in as All-Star starters. But Cousins will only be a few months into his rehab on July 1, when the Pelicans will have to decide how far to extend themselves to keep the 27-year-old after they were originally expected to offer him a five-year maximum contract worth an estimated $175 million.
