Surprise, Surprise: Ilgauskas Prefers Cavs

Filed under: Cavaliers

The Republicans and Democrats are squabbling, daylight savings time is arriving ... and Zydrunas Ilgauskas will return to the Cleveland Cavaliers.



Several media outlets in Cleveland reported Thursday night that Ilgauskas' agent, Herb Rudoy, had e-mailed to say Ilgauskas had decided to return to the Cavs.



"It is Zydrunas' desire to return to the Cavaliers if a suitable contract can be agreed upon," Rudoy said in an e-mail to the Cleveland media.



That's not a real gigantic "if" there either. The decision is not exactly a surprise, but the confirmation is significant because it means the Cavs added Antawn Jamison to a top-tier playoff team without giving up a player.



Ilgauskas had been traded to Washington Feb. 17, but the Wizards quickly bought out Ilgauskas' contract and made him a free agent. After "pondering" what to do for a few days, Ilgauskas decided to return to the city where he has spent his entire NBA career.
