Cousins' troubles in Sac+Griz's attempts to trade Mayo=C's trade partners?

What would you guys think of this trade?

BOS:

John Salmons
O.J. Mayo
Mike Conley (can't be included til March)
Demarcus Cousins
Maurice Speights

SAC:

Paul Pierce, Future 1st

MEM:

Rajon Rondo

Why for Boston?

Boston gets young potential talents in Conley, Mayo, and Cousins, spearheading their rebuilding efforts and giving Boston some pieces to continue competing with. We will be in a position to contend this year, and draw free agents here with our cap space next year.

Why for Sacramento?

They rid themselves of a malcontent team problem in Cousins and get back a perennial all-star SF in Paul Pierce. They get a savvy veteran leader who can teach leadership to Tyreke Evans and rally the Kings to a 7th or 8th seed in the playoffs. We can package a draft pick from this year or next year to sweeten the pot in Sactown's constant rebuild efforts.

Why for Memphis?

They move Mayo to a team that isn't log jammed at the guard position, and they get a perennial all star PG in Rondo to lead them into the playoffs.

Thoughts?

I like the Conley, Mayo, 1st rounder for Rondo too.  I made a thread about it a couple days ago and it was mostly negative responses.

OJ Mayo is bad at 5 v 5 basketball.

Maurice Speights was brought in for the one and only purpose of filling in for an injured Z-Bo. They are not going to trade him and find themselves looking for another replacement...

Okay so we get some OKAY players, but we really do wrong by Pierce by sending him to SAC. Doesn't really show any potential FA that we really care about the players. "You start not winning we send you to a bad team with no hopes!"

And we loose a 1st as well? Not worth it, Cousins is nice, but I'd much rather have Evans. Him and Rondo would be fun to watch.

I also love the idea of Rondo being shipped out for Conley and Mayo. One good young player for two good young players. Somehow though, I don't think Memphis breaks up their core right now. They've got a pretty darn good young team developing. I think you've a better chance of possibly swapping Ray for OJ and filler.

My thinking with Sactown is that it would get Pierce close to home, back near his West Coast family. He gets to do the Michael Jordan thing and play out his last couple years in a comfortable way.

Isn't their core pretty much Tony Allen + their frontcourt now?  Conley + Mayo seems like good return (although it'll pain me to part with Rondo).
