Zydrunas Ilgauskas

[akaarod03]

Is this guy not available anymore? I know earlier in the year the rumor was Jamison and filler to Cleveland for Ilgauskas. Apparently, Nellie and Donnie are big fans of Ilgauskas...not sure about Cuban. I don't know if Ilgauskas is a fit or not on our team considering our up-tempo offense. But at this point...I want a real center...I don't want Nowitski to play center anymore. Go out and get one...be it Dampier or Illgauskas or Ostertag etc. How has Ilgauskas performed against the top teams in the West? Here are the numbers:

Timberwolves: 12 pts 12 rebounds on 11/21/03
18 pts 6 rebounds 3 blks on 02/06/04

Lakers: 19 pts 8 rebounds 1 blk on 01/12/04
12 pts 9 rebounds 2 blks on 02/04/04

Kings: 9 pts 8 rebounds 1 blks on 10/29/03
13 pts 9 rebounds 2 blks on 01/22/04

The Cavs haven't played the Mavs or Spurs yet. I would definitely trade Walker and filler for Ilgauskas. From the Cavs perspective...I think they would as well. They already have Battie and Diop manning the middle. Walker, Boozer, and James isn't too bad in the Eastern Conference.
