On this day: Boston trades Davis, Wafer for Bass; deals Kappen for Becker

On this day, the Boston Celtics swapped Glen Davis and Von Wafer for Brandon Bass and dealt Tony Kappen for Moe Becker.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, the storied franchise traded champion big man Glen Davis and small forward Von Wafer to the Orlando Magic for power forward Brandon Bass in 2011.

Davis had been picked up by the Seattle Supersonics with the 35th overall pick of the 2007 NBA draft before being dealt to the Celtics with Ray Allen for Jeff Green, Wally Szczerbiak, Delonte West, and draft assets that same night, winning a title in his first season in the league. Wafer signed with the team as a free agent after having been drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 39th pick of the 2005 draft.

By the time of the trade, Wafer had already played for a number of teams around the league, including the Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Houston Rockets.
