Why Ray Trade Makes Sense

To get younger for sure but here is the real reason. If the Celtic's keep Allen's and let his contract come off the books, they'd still be over the cap this summer with no avenues besides sign-and-trade to acquire a starting shooting guard.

To be a little cynical, Ainge will not to go back to pre KG/Allen days where by the grace of God he saved his job by making the trade for both of them. He is not stupid and he sold Ownership on the current team to contend for the championship.
