This is an issue that must be going round all Cavs fans right now, and the consensus seems to be yes, trade Ilgauskas, but two things need to happen. One: it has to be a trade that makes the team significantly better now and for the future, i.e. bring in an all-star type player. Two: Z should only be traded on the basis that he is waived and re-signed by the Cavs, as with McDyess a couple of years ago.
If the cavs lose Z, they will be a worse team... He carries the load whenever shaq fails to deliver... and shaq doesnt deliver on a consistent basis
