Cavs sign Leon Powe

[beasted86]

RT @PDcavsinsider: Leon Powe signing should be official in morning. 2 years, $1.77 mil. Sources say Celtics tried to re-sign him after word got out about Cavs.

Idiot lol don't test me I ain't a fool running round here making stuff up

Yeah... it's so legit BW didn't make a blog about it on the Cavs Beat... didn't mention it in any articles whatsoever about Powe signing... didn't even hint about it in an ASK Brian question... but instead tweeted about it.

It's much more believable when it comes in the form of a tweet.

Cuz its not a big deal... its nothin to blog bout. Its understandable you don't want a former player to go to your rival right?

Portland,la,orlando,mia,dallas all showed interest but powe wanted to stick it to the celtics

Signing just became official today

I think the reason that Danny Ferry failed to draft Blair is because JJ Hickson is still recovering from his back injury.

Danny Green was a great pick in the 2nd Round, and He's like an upgraded version of Sasha Pavlovic.

That would only make me wanna draft Blair even more (if I were Ferry) seeing that JJ has chronic back issues..

Another thing..

I like this pick up but if we are willing to take a risk on Powe why in the hell couldnt we take a risk on Blair.. ..his knee's cant be worse then Powe's can they..

Because as a first round pick Blair would have been guaranteed two years under contract.


Eyenga might be able to turn into a player, his athleticism is off the charts:

Which is only one year longer then what Powe got..not that big of a risk.



Yea down the road he could be good but we are trying to win now and Blair could have helped us now..

I am very surprised the Celtics didn't keep him. I guess they chose Henderson over Powe. Bad choice is my opinion.

Who?


You mean Shelden Williams..

Powe's Agent said that his recovery is ahead of schedule. I think Powe will be back after the NBA All Star Game.

The Cavs needs a 100% Leon Powe in the 2010 NBA playoffs.

[1~Gibson~1]

I just want him to come back around playoff time, get a couple of regular season games under his belt to see if he's healthy enough to play, then get ready for him to beast in the post-season

Powe passes tests:

Leon Powe cleared several important hurdles this week in his return from left knee surgery, passing strenuous running and stress tests. The Cavs have not determined a specific return date for Powe, who has been out all season recovering from anterior cruciate ligament replacement and microfracture surgery. Powe is hoping to be cleared by doctors next week.

Welcome Back Mr. Leon Powe. Leon will probably play 8-10 minutes per game in the regular season, but I expect Coach Brown to give him more playing time in the playoffs.

when the cavs pick up Powe it's a steal

when the lakers "pick up" Gasol it's a bank robbery

not to mention signing Artest for the mid-level

anyways it's an ok pickup for the cavs. I mean we're not even talking about big baby or haslem or someone who is likea 10/6 type of guy. This is a 3rd string reserve at best that's been plagued by injuries. I don't see how everyone is saying this is a huge steal by the cavs. The celtics obviously knew something was wrong with him before waiving him. I trust the front office of a 18 time world champ way more than the front office of the quintessential cursed sports city.

It's just like when they pickedup Joe Smith last year... big fucking whoop.

Congrats to Powe for winning two rings in three years.
