The big NBA news this weekend was the trade of DeMarcus Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans from the Sacramento Kings. At the time of the trade, Kings general manager Vlade Divac said "Winning begins with culture and character matters." Cousins has been a source of controversy and turmoil for the Kings since he was drafted in 2010, wracking up 19 technical fouls this season alone. He has also struggled with fines and suspensions and has been ejected 11 times in his career.
