Leon Powe looking at Boston Celtics

Found December 06, 2011 on Celtics Town: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Leon Powe,  Phil Jackson,  Doc Rivers,  Vince Carter,  Kwame Brown
TEAMS: Memphis Grizzlies,  Boston Celtics,  Phoenix Suns,  Charlotte Bobcats

Leon Powe went to the L.A. Defenders’ NBA D-League game Monday night and told ESPN’s Dave McMenamin he is looking at two teams — the Boston Celtics and Memphis Grizzlies.Considering they have nearly nothing to spend, the Celtics could probably do worse than Powe. Sure, he has played just 50 games since leaving the Celtics two full seasons ago. His knees are more beat up than Chris Brown’s ex-girlfriends. He scored in double figures exactly five times last year and averaged just 8.8 minutes per game in 16 games with the Grizzlies (he played 30 games overall last season, averaging 13.3 minutes for the Cavs). But the Celtics need to do their share of bargain shopping this offseason. And Powe, if he can get healthy (admittedly a ginormous if), could be a bargain.Plus, this is LEON POWE, who scored 21 points against the Lakers in the glorious 2008 NBA Finals, after which Phil Jackson mispronounced his name “Pow” during a diatribe against the officials....

Danny Offers Rondo, Green, & two 1st rounders for Chris Paul

Via Celtics Life  |  December 06, 2011
Ken Berger CBS Sports But the Celtics stepped forward with an offer that would not have to come with any commitment from Paul that he'd re-sign with Boston after the season. According to a person familiar with the discussions, the Celtics offered Rajon Rondo, two future first-round picks, and restricted free agent Jeff Green in a sign-and-trade for Paul. The impetus behind...

Video: Felger calls Rondo a "prick" on TV

Via Red's Army  |  December 04, 2011
I'm going to show a lot of restraint here when I say this about Michael Felger:  He likes to take extreme stances to get reactions out of people.  It's his thing.  But sometimes, he can go to far.  Like what he said about Rajon Rondo tonight.  It comes at the end of the video above, where he says "he can't shoot and personality-wise, he's a pill......

Rajon Rondo Trade Rumors Shouldn’t Have Celtics Fans Concerned

Via Celtics 24/7  |  December 07, 2011
Even if the past three months have consisted of nothing but exhibition games and stock footage of David Stern talking business, there’s been plenty of time to mull over potential free agent options for the Boston Celtics ahead of Christmas day. For one, there’s Dwight Howard if your credit card is big enough. Or two, there’s the marked down version of Howard — Chris Paul...

Boston Celtics Danny Ainge Is Armed With Mid Level Exception And Veteran Minimum Contracts: Can He Build A Contender?

Via Rant Sports  |  December 05, 2011
Boston Celtics President Danny Ainge has his work cut out for him. The Boston Celtics have a lot of holes on the roster with only about seven guys under contract. The needs for this team to truly contend are serious.The team will need to sign a big man that can play some serious minutes with Jermaine O’Neal the only center on the roster. They also need a backup point guard...

NBA Player Von Wafer’s Twitter Account Hacked or He Just Came Out of the Closet

Via BlackSportsOnline  |  December 05, 2011
Wafer is over in Italy right now playing ball and since I was too lazy to check the time difference he might not have noticed this tweet. This is assuming that he was hacked and didn’t write the tweet himself. I could care less if he is gay or not, I am just entertained by the hacking excuses if they are any. Maybe he thought it was the Italian version of twitter and no one would see.

Celtics willing to trade for Chris Paul without extension assurance

Via Celtics Life  |  December 05, 2011
ESPN There is also a small handful of teams that has informed the Hornets they are prepared to trade for Paul with no assurance that they can keep him beyond this season. That list, sources say, includes the Rockets, Boston Celtics and defending champion Dallas Mavericks. Each of those teams would be gambling that Paul would be won over by his new surroundings and either elect to...

Celtics Need Signature Quick Start More Than Ever, As 2011-12 Schedule Is Treacherous in Second Half

Via NESN.com  |  December 06, 2011
The Celtics have made a habit out of quick starts during the "Big Three" era. With the NBA announcing its condensed 66-game schedule on Tuesday, it's incredibly clear that they'll need another one of those quick starts more than ever this season. First, a little bit of history. In the four seasons since Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen came together in Celtic...

Red's Army Rewind: Fans salute John Havlicek

Via Red's Army  |  December 05, 2011
On April 9, 1978, John Havlicek played his last game before Celtics fans. How did they treat the legendary Hondo? With a roaring 7 minute standing ovation that will make the hair on the back of you neck stand up. I've never seen/heard anything like it. The best part of all, no hyped up introduction from the P.A. guy or video montage to get the fans worked up. They rose from their...

I Am A Celtic

Via Hooped Up: Atlanta Hawks  |  December 07, 2011
Dear Celtics, trading Rajon Rondo would possibly be worst idea ever. Taking him away from a mix that includes Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett is on par with trading Tom Brady away from the Patriots (who I hate) and he just won’t look right in a non-Boston jersey. Why? Cause he’s a Celtic dammit, that’s why.
