Trade keeps Cousins at NBA all-star siteNEW ORLEANS — DeMarcus Cousins is sticking around New Orleans to help the Pelicans make a 25-game push for the playoffs.The Pelicans agreed to acquire Cousins from Sacramento on Sunday, the same night the center was playing in the All-Star Game in their arena.The Kings dealt Cousins and Omri Casspi to New Orleans in exchange for Tyreke Evans, 2016 first-round draft pick Buddy Hield, Langston Galloway and first- and second-round draft picks this summer, a person familiar with the situation said.The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade was not official and had not been announced by either team.The deal pairs the 6-foot-11 Cousins, a frontcourt All-Star from nearby Mobile, Ala., with the 6-11 Anthony Davis, who on Sunday night was the All-Star Game MVP after scoring 52 points, breaking Wilt Chamberlain's 1962 record of 42.At the defense-free dunkfest that now serves as the NBA's All-Star Game, Davis led the Western Conference past the Eastern Conference, 192-182. He made 26 of 39 shots, scored 20 points in the fourth quarter and became the first player since Kobe Bryant in 2011 to win MVP honors on his home floor.
