Cavaliers Receive: C DeMarcus Cousins, C Omer Asik
Pelicans Receive: 2018 1st-round pick, 2021 1st-round pick (top-10 protected) C Tristan Thompson, SF Cedi Osman, F/C Ante Zizic
* At some point this season we expected the Cousins-Anthony Davis experiment to fail. Not for fault of the superstar duo, of course, but because there's such little talent placed around them in a loaded Western Conference. But to end it this early on before The 2nd week of November?
With Cousins set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2018, the Pelicans had to decide if he'll stay long term or bask in the glory of summer freedom for the first time in his career. So the Pelicans took the safer route and shipped Cousins, Thompson ensures that Davis won't have to play center, while Osman and Zizic are two rookies to groom or use as future trade bait. Taking Asik's awful contract off the Pelicans is a big plus as well. Could New Orleans get more for a big man putting up an insane 30.1 points, 13.0 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.2 blocks per game? Maybe, although how many teams have the culture and locker room in place to comfortably offer the hot-headed Cousins $200 million? A trade for the 27-year-old would give the Cavs their own "death lineup" of Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, LeBron James, Kevin Love and Cousins come playoff time, enough perhaps to better challenge the Golden State Warriors.
We will have to see how this trade plays out, is this the move the Cavs should have made a long time ago? Probably but hey, maybe now it’s better they did. But let’s see how things turn out in Cleveland

whale spotted in illinois river
A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri.
While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
