Video of Cousins readying himself to answer media questions popped up last night, and the reporter who captured the footage (Cowbell Kingdom's Manny Vieites) claims it was the exact moment Cousins heard he was being traded. "DeMarcus Cousins reaction as soon as he found out he had been traded to the New Orleans Pelicans," Vieites wrote. You can check out the clip above.
