Though Leon Powe has mentioned multiple times that he would like to return to the Boston Celtics — and the C’s undoubtedly have a need for low-post threats — Powe’s agent said the Celtics are not interested in signing his client. (Boston Herald)Though Leon Powe had expressed interest in a return to the Celtics, his first NBA team, the interest apparently isn’t mutual.
