    The more I think about it poor Shane will probley be traded. Thank Shane by sending him to great contender. Ilgauskas is very productive and Gibson needs to recapture his early success,maybe a change in seen wll motivate him. Incoming Players

    Zydrunas Ilgauskas

    the idea of Cavs giving up D Gibson and their starting center for last few years for low scoring wing and average point guard makes no sense.

    Bad trade in my opinion

    Ilgauskus would be a nice player if the situation was different (we were a decent center away from contending, for instance). As it is, I think we should look to improve our future rather than our present with any trades involving Shane and Lowry.

    no way, for the reason stated above....plus boobie is a set up shooter, AKA must be set up, he hasnt had success like before because teams started clamping down on him....he's too short to just try shooting over guys all the time..

    It's bad enough that you want to give up Shane for Ilgauskas. Then you throw in Lowry into the mix.

    Terrible.

    i really like big z but he has foot history and if yao has procedure like his then we have a starter and his backup that could be time bombs

    Bad IDEA.

    Don't gamble on Boobie. We've already got a better version of him in Brooks, and I prefer Lowry over him too.

    And Big Z, who I'm a big fan of, is way past his prime. We're planning for the future. There's no point in getting an aging center.
