February 20th, 2017 seemed like a dream come true for Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins. Boogie and his immense talent had just been traded to New Orleans in a mega deal. He would be paired with Anthony Davis in what many considered the new twin tower duo that would wreak havoc on NBA defenses.
On the surface it seemed a perfect combination. Both were All-Star big men, former Kentucky Wildcats, and both having been thrust into the role of faces of their franchises immediately in their careers. The commonalities at least made the perceived emotional fit seamless. I guess nothing lasts forever.
