If Leon Powe is able to make it back from a torn left ACL and damaged meniscus, he's looking to play for a title contender.
The unrestricted free agent is interested in playing for the Cavaliers and Magic, with Cleveland reportedly first on his list. The Mavericks and Lakers have also inquired about the forward's services.
The most optimistic scenario for Powe would be a return to the court in February

Less than a week after C.J. Watson expressed interest in joining the Magic, it seems that the team is no longer the front-runner to acquire the point guard.
In a text message to RealGM's Alex Kennedy, Watson indicated that there is no longer a favorite for his services and that he could end up anywhere.
"Whichever team best fits me and will give me a chance to play is where me and my agents have to decide," added Watson.
The Magic, who just signed forward Matt Barnes, do not have the money to extend a significant offer sheet to Watson. Golden State would match any offer within Orlando's spending limit, according to sources.
While sign-and-trade talks are ongoing, if a deal cannot be worked out then Watson must turn to his attention to other teams.
Philadelphia and New York are among several teams that have shown interest and returning to Golden State remains an option.

After rejecting a one million, $2.3 million offer sheet from the Philadelphia 76ers earlier this offseason, C.J. Watson is keeping his options open and could still sign with the team.
On Thursday, the Philadelphia Daily News reported that the 76ers are "considering taking a fresh look" at the third-year point guard.
Watson wouldn't rule out the possibility of joining Philadelphia when asked Thursday.
"I'm interested in playing for anyone," he told RealGM's Alex Kennedy. "I just want to play basketball and win, that's all."
Watson, who has expressed interest in joining the Orlando Magic, is weighing other options in case the acquisition of Matt Barnes prevents him from joining the team.
