Here is what seems to be a simple issue, if Pelicans were smart they would trade Cousins for Kyrie. Kyrie is a much better fit for Pelicans, and has 2 years on his contract with Cousins having 1 year, and non commital. Also Kyrie for Cousins is a better trade for pelicans so Pelicans should include some type of draft pick compensation.
Here is a trade that would work with 4 teams!
Suns, Pelicans, Cavs, Knicks.
Suns get
Tristian Thompson, Shumpert, draft picks from Cavs, Pelicans, Knicks which could be protected 1st or a bunch of 2nd round picks.
Knicks get
Tyson Chandler — Saves the knicks 28 million, and could flip him.
Pelicans get Kyrie
Cavs Get Cousins, Melo, Bledsoe.
