In 2017, while the NBA All-Star game was being played, DeMarcus Cousins was traded from the Sacramento Kings to the New Orleans Pelicans. Cousins, along with Omri Casspi, went to the Pelicans while the Kings received Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, and draft picks in return.
Every media personality called the trade another boneheaded move by Vivek Ranadive and Vlade Divac. The main piece in the trade was Buddy Hield who Vivek said had Stephen Curry type potential. Ranadive had a strong opinion on wanting Hield and was risking a three-time All-Star in Cousins in order to get him.
