Agent: Ilgauskas headed to Heat (ESPN.com)
No surprise. Z will be chasing his ring in Miami and you'd be hard pressed to find anybody in Cleveland who will fault him for doing it. He's been the face of the Cavs for over a decade and it sucks to see him go but the writing was on the wall with the way that last season played out. If the cavs had won it, I think he would have retired and if the Heat win it this year, I think he'll do the same. No Z jerseys are burning in the streets and I think that when Miami comes here for the first time, people will stop booing LeBron long enough to give Z an ovation during the announcement of the lineups. It'll be weird seeing the Miami Heat playing against the Cavs with the Cavs' all-time leaders in scoring, rebounding, blocked shots, games played and a fistful of other categories on the other side of the floor.
He apparently plans to keep his home here and hopes to return to the team when he retires.
Sadly, I do have to stop short of saying that I hope he gets his ring. I want injuries, back officiating, hurricanes - whatever it takes - to befall the Heat and keep them from winning.
