According to Jessica Camerato the Celtics are among the teams talking to Powe. The Lakers, Grizzlies and Kings are the others. CSNNE.com: “I’d love to be back there,” he said. “I already told my agent (Aaron Goodwin), if everything’s right, yeah I would love to be back again. It’s where I called home for three years. Everybody out there has been very nice to me, very kind and I’ve got much love for them. It’s just a matter of situation, everything shaping up the right way, yeah I would love to come back.” It'd be great to have Powe back, of course everyone remembers his Game 2 performance against the Lakers in the '08 finals. Video after the jump.
