Cousins was traded to the Pelicans on Monday in a move he said he "kind of expected." Although the 26-year-old's ready to move on, there will always be a place in his heart for the city that's welcomed him with open arms since he was drafted in 2010.

Boogie plans to continue hosting camps and immersing himself in the community of his now-former NBA city.

"Nothing will change. My love for Sac, it'll never change," he added.
