'Nothing Happening There' – DeMarcus Cousins Says Pelicans Should Relocate

On Wednesday’s episode of the FanDuel TV show, DeMarcus Cousins said that it’s time for the Pelicans to move cities.

“I think it’s time. I think it was time five, six years ago,” Cousins said.

“Especially New Orleans. You go to the games, it’s about 36 people there. Popcorn is a dollar, court side is $25. There’s not much success happening. Obviously, with the Pelicans they’re attached to the Saints as a package deal, but there’s nothing happening there.”

In terms of home attendance, the Pelicans finished sixth in the previous season. According to Sports Business Journal, the team averaged 16,815 in attendance.

Aside from New Orleans, Cousins said that the Memphis Grizzlies are another franchise that should relocate. The Grizzlies ranked lower than the Pelicans in attendance last season. With an average of 16,660, the team ranked fourth.

DeMarcus Cousins said he’d panic if he were part of the Dallas Mavericks’ fanbase

The biggest story of the season so far is the firing of Nico Harrison. After a 3-8 start, the Dallas Mavericks decided that it was time to move on from the general manager.

On Wednesday’s episode of Run It Back, DeMarcus Cousins gave his take on the situation. According to the four-time All-Star, he would panic if he were part of the Mavericks’ fanbase, especially after Harrison traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

“I don’t like anything that’s going on in Dallas right now,” Cousins said. “Obviously, with Kyrie being out, that changes a lot for this team.

“Obviously, you drafted Cooper in place of Luka’s leaving. Great, that’s cool, whatever. But now you’re also in a year of trying to develop a rookie out of position as a point guard, on top of talking about having championship aspirations. The plan is all over the place… So, I would definitely panic.”

After Harrison’s dismissal, trade rumors have started to surround the Mavs.
