Seemed like the media manager dude leaned into his ear and said "youve been traded to new orleans please be complimentary about the city".

oh... also the Kings mic cube right there as it happens
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
The longer clip does it justice when he smiles at the person who told him. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=...&v=pgOB55b8RP4
Let's wait at least a couple hours before trying to proclaim Cousins is already unhappy about being a Pelican.

The Warriors won't wanna see that in the 1st round. No way.
He was obviously tongue in cheek happy about the situation. You can join MM in the ship is still sinking club.
We have the best front court in the NBA now ... Hopefully these guys can gel quickly and we can make a run for it . 2.5 out of 8th place
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!

I'm honestly interested in what particular take he has. He did mention earlier that if we wanted to be happy or excited he'd hold silent about his take for the time being.
Don't think that was post trade news interview anyway.

This is the Pels, the possibility of Cousins coming out of his first introduction as a Pelican and tearing both ACL's is not out of the realm.
I just say we have a top 3 protection on our first round draft pick we traded. That's awesome!!! Demps owned Divac on this deal!
We absolutely hosed the kings. Like one of the best trades ever.
I'm uninformed when it comes to draft picks. What's the difference between protected and unprotected picks?
Then you don't know how to read signals and must never get laid. To me he seemed reserved but giddy.
Have him for one more season? Sweet , i guess we can have a stab at being Memphis 2.0. I guess as far as trades go, this was the second best after Paul Milsap, if we get to Memphis 2.0 level I'll be happy.
I was just about to post this. Thank you. The longer clip made me realize I've seen that interview before. It was from hours ago. Well before the news broke.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE, guys. There is no negative reaction or positive reaction to the trade in that video.
Duude, for real. Getting that 8th spot just got a lot more interesting
I hate you so much for saying that. Lol.
If, for whatever reason, we suck after this trade, and we land in the lottery, and the ping pong gods give us a top-3 pick, then we keep it, and they get next year's pick. If we have any pick outside of the top-3, they get it (even if it's #4).
When his contract ends, can't we offer him more than anyone?
So let's see if we get that 8th seed and face them their "death" line up would put green on cousins and Durant on ad hmmmmmm

The gist is if we miss the playoffs and win the lottery, ie. get a top 3 pick, then we keep our 1st rounder in an absolutely loaded draft. And can potentially see about flipping and getting after someone like Paul George or Jimmy Butler on top of Boogie.
This would be like beating Battletoads with an audio based controller that reads inputs from a trumpet you gotta play with your feet.
Another wrinkle for the Kings, if they weren't in the top 10 they would this year's pick to Chicago. If they're not in the top 10 then the Sixers had the option of swapping picks with them. By being worse this year, that means almost certainly get to keep this year's pick that they already had. Throw in Hield from last year, and that's a swing of 3 first round draft picks. From their perspective I don't think it's quite as bad as "just one draft pick". At least, that's what I'd be telling myself if I were a King's fan.
"Timing is everything. Chemistry is something that you don't just throw in the frying pan and mix it up with another something, then throw it on top of something, then fry it up and put it in a tortilla and put in a microwave, heat it up and give it to you and expect it to taste good. You know? For those of you who can cook, y'all know what I'm talking about. If y'all can't cook, this doesn't concern you."
Top 3 protected means if our pick lands between 1-3 then we keep the pick and transfer next year's pick to the Kings instead.
