The trade is based solely on the premise that Sacramento would want to dump salary and Boston would be willing to forego some of the 2012 game plan. Sac has plenty of young players to develop and has wanted a scoring PG to play next to Evans. Boston needs healthy players.

To SAC: Jermaine O'Neal (likely retires), Nate Robinson (would be good next to ball dominant Evans), Marquis Daniels (expiring).

To BOS: Beno Udrih (has 2 extra years left on his contract but upgrades the backup PG), Francisco Garcia (has 3 years left but can play the 3, defend, and make shots), Hassan Whiteside (young big with talent who isn't ready yet but gets to learn from several HOFs and be an emergency big).
“Being a Celtic is, every decision you make is about the team. Every cut you make is about the team. Every pass you make is about the team. You take yourself out of it. It’s not for everyone. If you don’t want to win, don’t want to play team basketball, and it’s more about you then you’re probably not a Celtic." Doc 2010

They stink, no need for them to give up on Hassan Whiteside yet.  He's young, raw and has an NBA body plus hes cheap.

I do think there is potential here IF Sacramento really wants to save money. If so, I could see a Davis/JO for Landry/Garcia deal being good for both teams.

I just don't think Danny is looking for anything that dramatic. 

Also, I think the chances of JO retiring are VERY slim.  He is still relatively young, and has been concentrating hard on getting better for the playoffs this year.  I think he is going to only be able to play limited games the rest of his career, but I don't think he is ready to walk away yet. 

Also, I think Delonte is a better backup PG than Udrih (and MUCH cheaper), and while Garcia is a decent player, he has had trouble staying on the court the last few years, making him a very risky guy to give up possible cap space for in 2012. 

I really think Danny is looking for a much more minor deal that brings in someone on a short deal, and doesn't subtract so much from the current team.
