On February 20, 2017, Cousins and teammate Omri Casspi were traded to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Tyreke Evans, Buddy Hield, Langston Galloway, and 2017 first round and second round draft picks.
There could have been multiple reasons why he was sent away.
But New Orleans must have seen through DeMarcus Cousins.

Boogie Cousins gets a bad rap… It’s justified in some cases the guy has gone OFF more times than we can count…but he’s an emotional competitor and nobody in his organization put restrictions on his behavior in his first few years in the league, The Kings did nothing while he was building habits and now they traded him – their best player and a NBA superstar for scraps…
The good news for us fans (most of us anyway) is that we’ll get to see the two best big men play together and give the West a needed shake up. There has been talk of Pelicans upsetting the playoffs and going all the way to Cleveland… Can they beat Golden State in a 7 game series? Not really, no. Their bench is too weak, Boogie and AD will put up a show, but as soon as they sit down – it’s over. New Orleans got talent though, if DeMarcus can find his place and deliver on his promise to mend his reputation (video link) the Pelicans will be a force to be reckoned with.As for right now – if Boogie makes it to the playoffs he and Anthony Davis will definitely test the Warriors durability and drain quite a bit of their tank, weaken the Goliath. Golden St. fan or not, you’ve got to be happy about that, blowout playoffs aren’t that fun to watch.
