It appears as if Tony Allen's off the court issues and not his talent (lack of?) level are what's holding up a potential sign-and-trade with former Indiana swingman Marquis Daniels, according to the Boston Herald:
The Pacers, beset by past citizenship issues, reportedly are reluctant to bring in Allen. The guard’s offcourt issues, including death threats in Chicago that required extra bench security during last spring’s playoffs, cut against the grain of Pacers president Larry Bird’s attempt to move away from the legacy of Ron Artest and Jamaal Tinsley.
Let's not count our chicks before they hatch, okay? Daniels is not officially a member of the Boston Celtics and verbal confirmations cannot make it so. Boston and Indiana are still looking for a third team to help complete the deal and are willing to part with Bill Walker in order to make the deal complete.
