Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 15 years and 2 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.My hometown of Cleveland, OH is finally a winner … a recent Forbes article named it the number one most miserable city, edging out last year’s reining champion, Stockton, CA.
Hoping to continue Cleveland’s championship year in 2010, the Cavaliers traded local favorite Zydrunas Ilgauskas (who’s spent his entire 12-year career with the Cavs) to Washington for Antawn Jamison. Let’s hope it was the right decision and the Cavs can finally bring home an NBA title this year! We’ll miss you Big Z!
On another Cleveland-related note, only one month left until my brother and I head back to Arizona for our annual Indians Spring Training trip!
Ok, I definitely don’t understand NBA contracts and trade strategies, but apparently the Cavaliers could end up getting Z back in 30 days!
“Washington, however, is loaded at center and will likely buy out the remainder of Ilgauskas’ expiring contract, which would allow him to re-sign with the Cavaliers after the mandatory 30-day waiting period.”
Nice!
Cleveland is fighting back against the Forbes article, even running local TV ads (according to my brother). Check out positivelycleveland.com (which humorously redirects to whattheforbes.com).
Looks like Z is coming back!
