The Washington Wizards and Zydrunas Ilguaskas have finally hammered out a buy out deal that will make 'Z' a free agent. As you know by now, the Cavaliers can re-sign him after the mandatory 30 day waiting period expires.
There may, however, be some serious competition for Cleveland. It is being reported that there are at least three other teams coming hard after Ilguaskas. They include, Atlanta, Dallas and Denver. The problem for the Cavs is that these teams are willing and able to offer 'Z' a multi year deal and at a decent price, something Cleveland either can not do or may not be willing to do. It doesn't help that these teams are all serious playoff contenders, something 'Z' would insist on when signing any potential deal.
Making matters more complex, Shaquille O'Neal suffered a "significant sprain" to his right thumb last night versus the Celtics and may be out for an extended period. This leaves a giant hole in the middle for the Cavs when facing the likes of Dwight Howard.
We all know that LeBron James and a large contingent of Cavalier fans want 'Z' back, soon we all find out if the feeling is mutual or if Zydrunas' feelings were hurt beyond repair.

ReplyDeletecome on now...it's been a while since we sparred and I am not trying to cause any issues...but this article is simply providing a service for anyone who has no access to any form of news (print or electronic media).
What you wrote is pretty much common knowledge.
So is the fact that you should have life insurance, but you are still selling it aren't you. I have had my hands full the last couple days and my other beat writer has been out of commission, so I just wanted to let you all know I am still here.
ReplyDeleteI would, however, be interested to know if you all think a championship is still in the cards without Z and Shaq should we be so unfortunate. That's all I was getting at.
The writing was already on the wall.
