This is an open letter that shares the sentiment of many Boston fans: signing Leon Powe to a 1-year league minimum contract was a low risk/high reward situation for what Leon could have given us down the stretch for the 2010 season. Not a sentimental signing-- a good value and risk for the bench.

on a rookie contract. He helped them win a

... Interesting thought. Also interesting is the open letter to Danny Ainge on LOSCY regarding Leon Powe What is so risky about this? If you were willing to keep on Sam
Cassell and Patrick O’Bryant at the start of the season, why not keep
Leon? Get rid of Gabe Pruitt and give his roster spot to Leon.
There is nothing that risky about this at all. For $800,000 you take
a chance on a guy that helped you win the franchise’s 17th championship
and would resign for the future TO BE your bench. He wants to be in
Boston and Boston wants him ...
