News and Notes
Jun 27 Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry said Ilgauskas could come off the bench now that the team has acquired Shaquille O'Neal, however the ultimate decision belongs to coach Mike Brown, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Recommendation: "I think it's conceivable that Z will come off the bench, but those are [coach] Mike Brown's decisions," Ferry said. "I do strongly believe that Z is going to be an important part of the team. At times I think you're going to see that they play together a little bit, possibly." One thing for certain is that O'Neal will see a lot of minutes when the Cavs face the Magic and Dwight Howard, who had his way with Ilgauskas during the post season.
