New Cavs General Manager Danny Ferry reached out to one former Cav teammate - center Zydrunas Ilgauskas - and made Ilgauskas $55 million to $60 million richer when he agreed to a new five-year contract.
Now, Ferry is reportedly reaching out to another old Cleveland teammate, as well. Word is the GM has talked with one-time star Larry Nance about possibly being the team's liaison between management and players.
In recent years, Nance - whose No. 22 was retired by the Cavs in 1995 - had largely been shut out of the organization by former GM Jim Paxson, who was fired after last season.
Nance and Ferry were Cavs teammates from 1990 to 1994.
Sorry to post a Roger article, but I thought it was sorta worth posting.
