Per league and team policy, terms of the contract were not announced.In returning from a knee-injury that kept him out of action for the first half of the 2009-10 season, Powe returned to the court and played in 20 games (two starts), averaging 4.0 points on .429 shooting and 3.1 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per game. In 209 career games (16 starts), Powe has averaged 6.3 points on .517 shooting and 4.1 rebounds in 14.4 minutes per game. “Leon has worked hard to rehab and get himself back on the court this past season. Now he has a full summer to continue working, play more basketball and come back to start next season better than ever,” said Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry. http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/news/powe_option_100517.html You gotta think he'll play a bigger role next year, and that's why they got him.

Newman Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 He should get a bigger role. He is too good of a player to rot on the bench, even in the Cavs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Well he came off an injury and only played the final quarter of the season, so there's reason to why he hadn't played much this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
