Random Thoughts as Free Agency Begins
LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog — ... The Celtics have made a qualifying offer to Glen Davis, but Scott Souza is reporting that Danny didn't make an offer to Leon Powe, making him an unrestricted free agent. I really hope Danny does right by him and brings him back. I am certain that Leon will come back from this injury just as he did from the others. He will be back at full strength just in time for the playoffs when the Celtics need him most. Any guy who plays 3 minutes after tearing his ACL deserves another chance. This guy is all heart and I want him back. ...

Free Agency: Opening Day
Hoopinion — ... at this point the former's presence on the roster can't be excused by the team trying to wring ever bit of quasi-legitimacy out of a terrible draft pick (by the previous GM no less) and the latter's presence can't be blamed on the organization being cheap.

I'd rather the Hawks spend the money on Leon Powe's rehab. ...
