Los Angeles, Portland, Dallas, Orlando and Miami also expressed interest in Powe, whose preference was to remain in the Eastern Conference and to sign with the team most capable of giving him his best shot to exact some revenge on the Celtics after they effectively gave up on him by declining to tender him a qualifying offer.

Our front court would smash the midget power forward.

*shrug* I can see why he'd be upset with Danny after what happened.

Midget?

Prime example of an ungrateful and bitter fan.

Besides, Powe never came out and said he wanted revenge that's just Chris Sheridan being Chris Sheridan.

Is Leon really this petty or is this just some colorful language in an article?  It's a freakin' business.  Danny is employed by the Boston Celtics...not Leon Powe.  He looks out for the teams best interest and made a business decision in the best interest of the team. 

I haven't seen a quote from Leon to this effect.  However, if this is his attitude, then I hope we get to show him why he looked so good when he was with us.  I wish him nothing but luck until we meet him on the court.

Well, first, I think Sheridan over stated it.  I don't think Powe is really that angry with Danny and the C's.  I think he completely understands it's a business.  However, I also think he is the type of guy (like Pierce and Rondo), who will use any percieved slight as a chance to motivate himself.  I don't think it is petty, I think that is just how he gets himself going.

I agree, Chris.  I wasn't saying that being motivated by it is petty, but rather that if he had the attitude of wanting to stay in the Eastern Conference just to get back at Boston as Sheridan says is silly. This just doesn't sound like the Leon I've been watching.

I'm pretty sure the source is a tweet from a Cavsinsider.

I think Z is the only big the Cavs have that can play on the floor at the same time as Leon. Spacing....

Little bit of a cruel post there bank. I should say the same of Fat "non-rebounder" Baby who wanted to Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. himself for a big contract this off season and was put in his place by not getting one. For some reason ALOT of people are under the impression BBD is a god on this blog and i'm not afraid to say it. Powe gave alot more then BBD in his time here....

If Mike Brown has a drop of intelligence, he should match up Powe with Davis in future encounters...because it's blatantly obvious who will win that matchup. BBD will exit with 4 fouls in 2 seconds. Davis can't get that shot off with someone in his face, and if Powe can contain Dirk I think he can take Baby.

We loved you Leon, but now you're POWE-blic Enemy #1!

Just another face in the crowd. 

I hope you make it far enough back to play again, and that you can find a way to get some minutes on that team.
