Celtics not interested in Leon Powe, says agent
Though Leon Powe has mentioned multiple times that he would like to return to the Boston Celtics — and the C’s undoubtedly have a need for low-post threats — Powe’s agent said the Celtics are not interested in signing his client. (Boston Herald)
Though Leon Powe had expressed interest in a return to the Celtics, his first NBA team, the interest apparently isn’t mutual. The power forward likely will return to the team he finished last season with – the Grizzlies.
“I talked to (the Celtics) a while ago, but they’re not interested,” agent Aaron Goodwin said. “I think he’d like to go back to Memphis. He was able to get some minutes there.”
Bringing back Powe would have been largely a sentimental move. He’s not the same player who played in Boston during the 2008-09 season, or at least he wasn’t last year. But the C’s need bodies. With the expected acquisitions of Marquis Daniels and Keyon Dooling, Boston is at ten players to begin training camp today (not including the handful of training camp invites, Gilbert Brown among them). The next couple days might get crazy.

Guess we don’t need low-post rebounders that know the Cs’ system and that helped earn them a championship title. I understand if his knees are not improved, but last year was last year and unless he is examined how can one (DA) make a judgment about his current playing condition and value without taking a closer look and by having the medical team give their 2 cents??? You don’t have to sign him to examine him. Guess the Cs are looking for more average rebounders per minute considering what’s left out there to be had. Go Cs…

yo jay do you know what the situation is with josh smith? havent been hearing trade rumors about him anymore. anyway the c’s should make a run at smith. we can really use his consistent rebounding and he can really mature under doc and ultimately be the bait for howard cus he wants to play with josh smith.
