This is a non issue that you insist on arguing about. The Cavs are desperate and have no qualms about money this year.

You can lay crap all you want. Ilgauskas is a good guy. End of story.

yes, im sure he is a good guy. His agent is as well. You do know that he doesnt even live in cleveland dont you?

Yeah, good guy...thats why he doesnt opt out. LOL

HE lives in NY?? So that means he has hated playing for Cleveland? James is a Yankee and Cowboy fan?? DOes that mean something? The team stuck with him through almost 3 full missed years early in his career.

I honestly don't know what you're arguing. Why would anyone opt out of a 11.5 million dollar contract at the tail end of their careers? To hold the Cavs hostage? The Delonte West Trevor Ariza argument was better than this one. You have nothing here. Nothing. I just like the guy. He is a medical miracle with what is contained in his two feet and he stuck it out. I felt bad for him when his twins died at birth a couple years ago. I'm a softy that way I guess.

Im not saying anything bad about the guy. My only point is that the 11.5 million cleveland is paying is not by the team's choice at this point. I dont know how you or anyone could argue that. You dont pay 11.5 million for 18 minutes a game.

Who cares if it's not the team's choice. I don't think the team minds having him around as their backup center. My guess is he'll play more than you think. I'm thinking Shaq is not good for 82 regular season games. Call me crazy that way, but I'm thinking not. I'm thinking Z himself played under 65 games last year as well. So if you really think Shaq is good for 80 plus games fine. I'm thinking he's not and why would the team not want Ilgauskas for those games Shaq is not available.
