Have we talked about this yet? I didn't see a thread. I heard Leon Powe is coming back to the NBA after playing for Puerto Rico. I don't know if the Celtics have contacted him but I don't think it's just a coincidence that we're waiving Marquis Daniels around the same time we hear about Powe coming back.
Here's one source, but tons of other sites have a little article on him: http://clnsradio.com/2012/nba-2/boston-celtics/could-leon-powe-be-returning-to-the-boston-celtics/

Can't we just bring Gerald Green back?

would much rather have Diaw at this point, we need more play making for the second unit.

Diaw is a play maker; but not a rebounder. Powe used to be a pretty good rebounder for his  size. Likes those second chance opportunities as Max likes to say.

I don't think thats even a discussion.  I love Powe, but Diaw is the far superior player, even 30 pounds overweight. 

To be honest though, if no other centers shake free, I would take both of them.

I know Diaw is relevant in the big man conversation but I wish every mention of another guy didn't turn into a conversation about comparing the two.

The guy at Sportando, who believes Powe is injured/out of shape, believes "NBA opportunity" was an excuse fabricated by Powe to allow him to leave the team.

Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

I agree, but hopefully another center that shakes free is Kaman.

Here's my fantasy: Kaman and Diaw. We'd almost be contenders then.
