Celtics tried to get Powe back

This came in via the Cleveland Plain Dealer's beat writer Brian Windhorst on twitter (via CelticsBlog Twitter)

Leon Powe signing
should be official in morning. 2 years, $1.77 mil. Sources say Celtics
tried to re-sign him after word got out about Cavs.

UPDATE: Marc Spears just reported this on Comcast Sports Tonight:

"Someone
from Cleveland told me tonight the reason why Cleveland was rushing
with Leon is because the Celtics were starting to show interest."

Interesting.  Maybe the C's didn't think he'd take the minimum.  If true, maybe they think they misplayed their hand here.
