If he were completely healthy, I'd love to have him back. He was one of my favorite players, and I still proudly wear my Powe shirt. He'd be a nice piece to have when the Big Three aren't around or as good as they once were.
Where did you get that shirt..? I want one..!

I searched and searched for awhile and then eventually (maybe due to demand) the pro shop on the ground level had them for sale. No way you'll see it in there anymore, though.

Elsewhere, in the Celtics' store there's a youth size but no adults.

He's only about a year removed from the injury, so basically I wouldn't make any judgements of where he's going to be. IMO he was about the perfect guy to play PF behind KG when he was doing well.

So if for some stupid reason the Cavs forget to pickup his option, then yes, absolutely he should be signed if possible. I wouldn't want to break into the exceptions for him though.

Powe's knees are done. Sure, his knee will get stronger with time, but from what little I saw of him this year, he looked like NBA charity case. Guys like him are fueled by comments like mine, but I doubt he ever recuperates enough to be a legitimate NBA player again. It's really too bad because he's one of the good guys. I'm glad Cleveland signed him so he can put a few more bucks in his pocket. But his playing days are over.

No for one simple reason:

If he is available, that means that Clev declined his option and is a very poor reflection of where he is at. If he is legit, then they pick up his option and he isn't available.

  Antoine Walker wanted you to know that even retirement won't completely kill the issue.

He has an injury that takes time to recover from.  Think about how people thought KG was toast earlier this season.

That being said, even if he does appear fully recovered next season, he's too much of an injury risk to be in any team's long-term plans.  He's not a good choice if you are looking for a bench player who has a chance to grow into a post-KG starter.
