Anthony Davis has a good reason to be one of the most excited players in the NBA.
The New Orleans Pelicans star reacted with glee to his team’s acquisition of DeMarcus Cousins from the Sacramento Kings.
“This is an unbelievable weekend,” Davis said with a big smile, per ESPN’s Jeff Goodman. “All-Star MVP and now getting Boogie (Cousins). It doesn’t get better than this.”
The Kings traded Cousins to New Orleans for a mix of players and draft picks. Many have panned the deal, claiming Sacramento received far too little for a player of Cousins’ caliber.
But Davis isn’t complaining, as he and Cousins will form a formidable front-court duo in New Orleans, and their prospects competing in the NBA playoffs just skyrocketed.
