Powe close to signing with Cleveland

According to Adrian Wojnarowski on twitter.

If Leon Powe's
rehabbing knee checks out with team doctors Tuesday in Cleveland, he
will sign a 2-year deal with Cavs, source tells Y! Spts

I find it interesting that his knee would be healthy enough right now for a team to sign him.  Credit to Leon for working his butt off.  I won't be happy to see him in a Cavs uni, though. 

Of course, as I was typing, there was another tweet.

The deal for Powe
would be for the minimum salary, with Cavs holding option for 2010-'11.
Powe is expected to return by All-Star break.

It's a no-risk deal.  A minimum salary guy who could potentially be a second half contributor.  If he can't make it, you cut him and move on without 2010-11 ramifications.
