    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CLEVELAND (TICKER) -- Center Zydrunas Ilgauskas will officially re-sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.

    The team has scheduled a news conference for 2:30 p.m. EDT.

    According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ilgauskas agreed to a five-year deal worth up to $60 million two months ago, but the team never announced the agreement. The 30-year-old Ilgauskas, who has played all seven of his seasons with Cleveland, averaged 16.9 points and 8.6 rebounds in 78 games last season. He led the NBA with 299 offensive rebounds, ranked sixth with 165 blocks and was selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star team for the second time in three years. </div>

    I thought Ilgauskas only wanted to play three more seasons. Now the Cavs have him signed until he's 35!
