Davis was named the All-Star Game&rsquo;s most valuable player on Sunday after scoring 52 points, which broke Wilt Chamberlain&rsquo;s record of 42.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-size:18px;\">The move sends a message that the Pelicans are committed to a push for the postseason. New Orleans (23-34) entered the All-Star break two and a half games behind the Denver Nuggets for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-size:18px;\">Cousins will become a free agent in 2018 unless the Pelicans can sign him to an extension.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-size:18px;\">Hield was one of the nation&rsquo;s best college players during his senior season at Oklahoma, but he has been inconsistent as a rookie, averaging 8.6 points, after being the No. 6 pick in last year&rsquo;s N.B.A. draft. Evans was named rookie of the year in Sacramento after the 2009-10 season, and Galloway has been a solid reserve, providing scoring punch from the perimeter.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-size:8px;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Source:-&nbsp;https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/02\/20\/sports\/basketball\/demarcus-cousins-sacramento-kings-new-orleans-pelicans.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fsports&amp;action=click&amp;contentCollection=sports&amp;region=stream&amp;module=stream_unit&amp;version=latest&amp;contentPlacement=4&amp;pgtype=sectionfront<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/sports\/sacramento-kings-agree-to-trade-demarcus-cousins-to-the-pelicans.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sacramento Kings Agree to Trade DeMarcus Cousins to the Pelicans Sacramento Kings Agree to Trade DeMarcus Cousins to the Pelicans:- The Sacramento Kings have agreed to trade DeMarcus Cousins and Omri Casspi to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Tyreke Evans, Buddy Hield, Langston Galloway and first- and second-round [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22673,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[13992,13119,13991],"class_list":["post-22672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-cousins-demarcus","tag-sacramento-kings","tag-sacramento-kings-agree-to-trade-demarcus-cousins-to-the-pelicans"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
