    [rquoter]The Boston Celtics and Charlotte Bobcats are discussing a trade centered around Glen Davis and D.J. Augustin, according to league sources.

    The sources cautioned that nothing is imminent, but said the clubs are having discussions.

    The Bobcats have been searching for a power forward, and the 6-foot-9 Davis could be their man. The Celtics, meanwhile, have been longing for a backup point guard, and Augustin, who's fallen out of favor with Charlotte coach Larry Brown, would be more than adequate.

    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.[/rquoter]

    Boston would get a steal in that deal.

    Glen Davis and Bill Walker for DJ Augustin and Stephen Graham

    Seems like a good trade for both teams

    Good trade for Boston. They take advantage of Larry Brown's stubbornness with talented players that don't do everything perfectly or have some attitude.

    The title should read "DJ Augustin to Celtics?" What a great deal if this was true for Boston.
