Powe would join a growing list of players big name players to the buyout list making it possible that he could fall to a less competitive team. Should this happen, there's a chance that he could hold some value. Wait for an official word but a buyout looks likely.

Leon Powe (knee) will return to action for the first time since having knee surgery in January.

Expect small steps out of Powe but the opportunity is there for someone like him to take advantage of a weak Cavs roster. Give him a few games but keep an eye on his minutes and his adjustment.
