"NBC Sports" said : PBT Podcast: Breaking down DeMarcus Cousins trade with Dan Feldman

One of the teams moving to get in on the George market is the Lakers, according to Sam Amick of the USA Today. George made the All-NBA team last year, but he's on the bubble again this year. The Pacers likely wait to see if he makes the team again and if they can offer him the designated player deal. But to do that would require building a contender around George in Indiana — and that means bringing in more talent fast. George was direct with the Pacers owner in a recent meeting saying almost exactly that, reports Sam Amick of the USA Today.

Once again: BUDDY HIELD, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, one future first-round pick & one future second for DeMarcus Cousins, sources say — Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) February 20, 2017I really don't mind the players.

Cousins, Davis and Holiday are clearly the core, and everybody around the soon-to-be free agent will be trying to make him feel wanted. Now that the Pelicans have DeMarcus Cousins, though, it appears that is no longer under consideration, via ESPN's Justin Verrier:In case it needs to be said: Sources say a Jrue Holiday trade before Thursday's deadline is highly doubtful. This would obviously be a huge setback for the Pelicans, who need Davis and Holiday on the court to be competitive. New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday will be a free agent this summer, and, relatively recently , it looked like the front office had to figure out whether to trade him before Thursday's 3 p.m. With Cousins on board, Holiday has much more incentive to stay, as long as the front office is willing to offer a significant raise.
