<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers have held preliminary talks about a deal for 7-2 Zydrunas Ilgauskas, according to a league source. Cleveland initiated the conversations and has expressed interest in power forward Kurt Thomas after the Cavs were burned by Carlos Boozer, the restricted free agent who verbally agreed on a deal to re-sign with Cleveland but instead signed an offer sheet with the Utah Jazz.</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Ilgauskas is arguably the best center in the Eastern Conference - at least until Shaq arrives - and would significantly upgrade the Knicks' front line. Ilgauskas has averaged 14 points and eight rebounds in six seasons. He has also missed two full years with foot problems but has enjoyed two straight healthy seasons. </div> <div align="center">Link </div> I think this would spell the end for Cleveland. They need at least one tall player, and Z is all they have. Thoughts?
Last year the Cavs were a young team on the rise. We had a big 3 of Lebron, Boozer, and Z. Now we are turning that into just LeBron? What the hell is going on here? I don't think this is going down. I never thought Pax was the best GM, but if he trades Z away for a stiff he has officially baught LeBron a ticket out of town in 4 years because he will have set us back 5 years. Let's hope that these arnt true, and my gut says they arnt.
um..... if this is true, paxson seriously needs to lose his job... what good, smart move has he done in his entire tenure here got lucky in the lottery with lebron, that's about it everything else has turned out extremely poorly at best what a ridiculous trade scenario
