Big Z to Miami....

[No_Look604]

I'm sure Cavs fans understand this, Z deserves a ring.

The Sacramento Kings of the early 2000's deserve rings, not big Z.

Is Sabonis still avaliable?

Yeah, Zo and GP are also coming out of retirement.

[Positive]

Lol @ all the non-clevelanders on here bashing Z, or expecting us to hate on him.

You will be hard pressed to find very many Cavs fans/Clevelanders who will hold this against Z.

1-he is beloved

2-he put his time in, and took less money than he was offered elsewhere (when he was still a borderline all-star and a top center in the league)

3-showed his loyalty by returning after the Jamison trade, when he had other options.

4-he didn't embarrass us on national TV like LeBenedict.

I for one hope he does well, and while I would have a hard time rooting for the HEAT, I will always cheer for Z no matter what team he's on.

This, anyone saying that he will be hated by the fans doesn't know what they're talking about. Z is a class act in every sense of the word, I don't think I've ever heard a bad story about him. Having him leave to get a chance at a title is completely respectable after all he's put into that franchise. I'd love to see him go out on top.

The reason why LeBron will be hated is because of the way he did it. I keep hearing stories about how he went about this free agency and it's really making it hard to continue to like the guy. The fact he never returned any of Gilbert's calls/texts and didn't even let him know what he was doing before "The Decision" (he actually made him watch it too) is just ludicrous.

Illgaskus can barely run. He just isn't that good.

Illgauskas > Lakers' front line. His length causes problems for Pau, and Bynum sucks.

[Meticode]

I can't blame Z for this move. He is a free agent and he has spent 14 years here. He is a class guy and I will always welcome him back to Cleveland.

It is just too bad that I'm going to have to root against him, now. I do wish that he would have signed somewhere... anywhere else. But, it is what it is. Can't fault the guy for wanting to compete for a title.

I've heard James is in full-on recruit mode. This only confirms it. Must be nice.

In-my-opinion, retire Big Z's number in Cleveland in front of James when Miami plays at Cleveland in the first game this season. And watch the standing ovation that man gets.

Gilbert, make it happen!

[oh the horror]

Im sure you didnt even feel confident typing that out with a straight face.

[Torious]

Heh, nWo? More like 'Fellowship of the ringchasers'

[hawkfan]

hawkfan called this one!!!!

hawkfan = where amazing happens.

Great fit for the Heat, and LBJ gets to be mean to the Cavs.

[DixieNourmous]

I'm sure Cavs fans understand this, Z deserves a ring.

He didnt sign with the Lakers did he?

[Kingwillball]

Have watched Plenty of Cavs Basketball in Recent years and Big Z is on his last legs..He can still hit the Pick and Pop but he barely scores within 5 feet of basket at 7"3. As many have stated is a Liability in D so I hoping they are assuming he is a backup Center and not a Starter or that will be a problem.

[crisoner]

Big Z deserves a what? LOL

Who is he now Ewing? GTFO!

[jbot]

if i was as mad as the cavs owner, i wouldnt give big z no job. maybe he can go goon for lebron when his career is over.

exactly. wants to be a part of the Cavs' organization when he retires and after he jumped ship to bandwagon for a ring.

Yeah.... I've heard others over at RCF saying that same idea. That would be great.... I'm all for it.
