DeMarcus Cousins’ contract with the New Orleans Pelicans expires this summer. That’s why there is some speculation that the center could be sent away before the trade deadline. But Boogie doesn’t believe it.
“I don’t think it’s gonna happen,”Cousins said about a possible trade with Marc J. Spears von cou.”I am now beginning to understand the business and now know when something like a trade is implying” Cousins played the first years of his career in Sacramento before he was traded to New Orleans as part of the All-Star game.
According to Boogie, the team is too talented to tear it apart during the season. At the moment, the Pelicans are evenly balanced with 15-15 and occupy seventh place at the Western Conference, which would justify participation in the playoffs.
However, the All Star did not yet want to comment on his future after the season, even though Anthony Davis would like to keep his frontcourt colleague around him.”A. D. Jrue Holiday was in the same situation last summer and that’s what we all respected, but of course we also made our jokes about it.”
It should be a difficult decision for the Pelicans. For the coming year, only nine players have signed a firm contract, but they have already eaten up 94 million dollars. So if the Pels wanted to keep their cousins, the Louisiana franchise would have to pay some luxury tax.
