Earlier tonight, Sacramento Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans in a blockbuster deal.
Cousins was speaking to the media after tonight’s All-Star game around the same time news broke of his trade. According the Kings beat reporter Manny Vieites this may have been the moment Cousins learned about the trade via a handler.

It’s pretty telling that Cousins gives a look to his handler when he says that he “loves New Orleans”.
