Leon Powe: Signs with Celtics
RotoWire.com Staff - RotoWire.com
Sunday, July 16, 2006
Update: The Celtics agreed to terms with Powe, the Boston Globe reports.
Recommendation: The No. 49 pick, acquired in a draft-night deal with Denver, received a deal almost identical to the partially guaranteed three-year contract given to Ryan Gomes, the No. 50 pick in the 2005 draft. Given the numbers for Gomes, Powe could earn approximately $2 million if he completes his contract. ``We have agreed to terms with Leon Powe, but the contract has not been signed yet," President Danny Ainge said. ``Leon is a low-post scorer and rebounder and a really tough kid. He plays with a lot of passion and enthusiasm. We like what we've seen. We think he has a good future." The team saw enough of that future in the now concluded Las Vegas Summer League to commit to a three-year deal with the 6-8 rookie form Cal.
49 pick completes his contract and makes 2 whole million dollars

This utterly fascinating tidbit is posted in Spurs forum because Denver is in the same conference as Spurs?
I'm guessing this is a semi-veiled shot at Javtokas?
No, it's a semi-veiled shot at the Javotkas/Scola apologists. This is actually what second round picks usually earn, yet the LLE ($1.75M starting pay) is not good enough.
the guy we drafted traded to the bucks is also on that deal, they gave him a 2mill/3 year contract, and 500k to pay out his contract with the euro club.
Somehow I doubt he has a team in Europe willing to pay him about $2M US for ONE season.
So this thread was started about Leon Powe and the Celtics just to carry on the Jav/Scola vs. Spurs FO argument?
Yes, it is de rigueur to argue the same point in at least three threads.
Bonus points if it can be maintained in other forums simultaneously.
Because Powe has been playing in Euroleague playoffs and shutting down some of the best centers in Europe?
Powe's contract suggests absolutely nothing about the Javtokas situation. The contracts of these players apply: Macijuaskas, Jacikevicius, Anthony Parker, Oberto, Garbajosa's projected salary.
Powe has absolutely nothing to do with RJ. Nor did Gomes.
If the Spurs' FO has the same thinking as you, it goes a long way in explaining why we have very little youthful talent on our bench. You guys are completely overlooking the changes in the marketplace for established veterans in Europe.
Apparently.
But there was no point to make.
yeah there is so much to talk about now tell thursday
Exactly.
Anthony Parker, Oberto WERE FA's
BIG DIFFERENCE
The market value is still placed. What you guys keep saying is that the players the Spurs have rights to ought to be pleased to play for an extreme fraction of what they're worth. I'm sure you'd try to get Scola to play for the LLE once his contract expires. This is akin to Microsoft trying to hire you, as a systems designer, for $20,000 a year. You'd tell them no thanks and go find work in India, anywhere, to get your value.
You are not obligated to pay market price for second round draft picks
no one in the nba is bidding against you
euro may give a player a bigger contract for one or 2 years but if you believe in yourself you get a much bigger payday in america
jav did not even have confidence in himself to beat out nazr,rasho,horry and oberta to get playing time
microsoft is not like the nba that will give you millions if you prove you are worthy to be in the nba
The point is - and the point everyone is failing to grasp - is that Javtokas is not ever going to come over if he is lowballed. And, in the future, our late second round 'project players' will not come over if they are lowballed, either. Entrapping them with 2nd round picks and taking advantage of the situation will only piss them off. You may say "oh, well, they must not be confident enough in their abilities!!!"
Who cares? We're missing out on talent. And for these players, playing in Europe is more than acceptable as a subs ute. And European salaries can make a player wealthy enough.
We had better sign Sanikidze soon, before his value rises above the LLE threshold.
jav is maybe 10-15 minute a guy in the nba
I hope jav does not come over next year
that does not have a leg put back to gather
I hope they have someone better then that
and can trade jav to someone else
spurs may use the development league they did not have the choice earlier
sandikidze I think will be brought over next year
I take ian over jav next year
Fair enough. The Spurs will trade him if they won't pony up the $2.5M or so he's worth. I don't doubt he'll send a couple of Parker's shots flying.
The NBDL may be the savior for this concept (of below-market cheapness). Letting young talents develop overseas on 2nd round contracts didn't work out. Bringing Sanikidze soon needs to happen, to keep the cost down. Unlike Mahinmi, he doesn't have a rate locked down.
spurs will not have a problem trading jav since he has no buyout
jav did not get even 2.5 million in europe this year
he got 2 million usa dollars
True, and a lot of teams will be intrigued by his potential.
RJ is worth $2-2.5M, I'd say.
I do not call it cheap it actually makes sence this is the first time it did not work out
and they were hoping jav would give them more time and see
jav was not the first plan but he could not wait even though spurs wanted on him to get healthy
