A straight-up trade would not work because Davis is a base-year compensation player, so other players would have to be involved to meet the financial requirements. That could be a sticking point in the deal.
While teams don't typically trade big for small, Boston is a bit aggravated with Davis, who's had a few off-the-court problems this season. Most notably, he missed the first 27 games of the season after breaking his thumb in an early morning scuffle with a friend.
The Celtics have been rumored to be exploring deals for Ray Allen, and while league sources insist the word "shopping'' is too strong, they say the shooting guard is definitely available. Few believe he'll be traded before the Feb. 18 deadline, though, because the Celtics aren't likely to get a better player in return.
Rumors of a BBQ/Big Belly for Augustin swap. I like this trade for both teams, gives us a scorer off the bench and allows Shelden to get back the spot he seemed to have earned.
Davis/Giddens for Augustin/Graham gets it done, otherwise the #'s get tricky.
