Wizards Should Be a Go For Leon Powe
Stet Sports Blog — The Washington Wizards have stared an opportunity like this in the face before. A power forward with limited offensive skills but incredible energy and heart to make up for it on the defensive end is available in free agency. The Wizards desperately need him, but seem to be hesitant about his long term prospects. Back then, it was Ben Wallace. Today, it’s Leon Powe. The Boston Celtics have foolishly cast off Powe and the toughness he brings in a reserve role to Kevin Garnett. Maybe they are that sold on Glen ‘Big ...

Leon Powe vs. Ike Diogu
Sactown Royalty — ... decided to refuse to make a $997,000 qualifying offer to Powe because he won't likely be ready until December or February and the Celtics cannot afford to lock up a roster spot with an injured player when they're trying to get another championship.
