Newsbreakers
October 8, 2009
Fanhouse.com is reporting that Cleveland center Zydrunas Ilgauskas is considering retiring at the end of the 2009-2010 season. Ilgauskas said he will see how he feels at the end of the season before making a decision on his future.

Our View:Big Z is getting up there in age at 34, but the addition of Shaq figures to limit his minutes this season. You would think that limited minutes could prolong his career, but he will still evaluate how he feels after the season before making a decision. If he can make it through this year healthy, he could very well return for at least one more year, but an injury, especially a serious one, would probably signal the end.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Cavaliers may look to trade center Zydrunas Ilgauskas at some point next season. Ilgauskas has an expiring $11.5 million contract, and there are several teams who will be looking for a salary dump going into the much anticipated free agent summer of 2010.

Our View:With the Big Diesel in the fold now, Big Z will become expendable as long as Shaq stays healthy. The article makes a good point concerning the expiring contract, and it would make sense that a bunch of teams would like to trade for Z to help them down the stretch and to dump his expiring contract. Don't be shocked if a move is made at some point in the next few months.

The Akron Beacon-Journal is reporting that Zydrunas Ilgauskas plans to return to the Cavaliers. The veteran center holds an $11 million player option for next season.

Our View:Big Z will be 34 next week, but he told the paper that he wants to be a Cav next year. With Ben Wallace contemplating retirement and Anderson Varejao a free agent, the Cavs should welcome Big Z's commitment to the team.
