Windy: Z close to signing with cHEAT

If they're both starting, I would feel bad for booing Lebron for fear Z may think it was directed at him.

No way, he will know who we are booing. I am sure when Z's name gets announced will get an oviation, while Lebron gets beers thrown at him... I think that will sting Lebron a little bit too...

He's a good passer, rebounder, and he can hit open jumpers. He's terrible on defense though. Still, it's better than trotting out Joel Anthony as your starting center.

You will always have a spot in our hearts, Z. You stuck with this organization, even when we benched you behind Shaq, sat you on what should have been your big night, and traded you from the only franchise you ever knew as home.


I look forward to the day that your #11 will hang from the rafters, and the day that you will rejoin our franchise in another role. Good luck with your championship hunt; you of all people deserve one.

It's probably a bad sign when Z is a team's clear starter at C.

What and INSANE night at the Q that is going to be. Emotional rollercoaster to the extreme.

cavs fans can only blame themselves for having a piece of crap owner. i wished he and z would have stayed in clevland, but he made the stupidest moves and decisions. he couldnt put a team together in 7 years but pat riley could do it in a couple weeks. dan gilbert and clevland hater fans looks like the dumest pieces of scum right now. Your mad because you formed a team of rejects around lebron and z for seven years? haha clevland your retarted.

I'll respond to the troll before he gets banned.

Know your facts chump. The major problem was two guys who don't work for the Cavs anymore..not Gilbert. I'm sure you knew that though. I'm sure you knew Gilbert hasn't owned the team for the last 7 years.

If you are going to troll, learn your shit first.

I think it's official, the Cavs have officially gotten owned by Miami in every way. There's no point even trying to spin it anymore.

The Cavs kind of consistently fucked Z over the last few years, not suprised he's leaving, or that he's leaving to play with Lebron where he can start, contend, and play with a close friend.

Lebron, unlike the Cavs organization, has pretty much always had Z's back.

Anyone that thinks he's not a good starting quality center as well is just being disrespectful. He was good enough to start for us, the only problem was our defensive schemes really exposed him against Howard.

But Z dominates Gasol and Bynum. IMO this is even better than the Mike Miller signing.

Z's the perfect center to put on that team because he can just spot up in the corner and get wide open J's all day every day. And defensively he's still a good rebounder and moves his feet unlike Shaq. Plus he doesn't have a huge ego.

I don't even think that's what it's all about. He's been a model "citizen" on this team for 14 years and has supported some pretty lousy teammates. Now he would like a chance to get a ring. I don't think anyone would (or should) fault him for that. It's obvious we won't be winning a championship this year and at this stage of his career, there's no reason he should put himself through another losing season. I wish him all the best.

I say you guys cheer everytime Z gets the ball, and boo everytime LeBrick touches it.

I respect Z, always will. But he is now dead to me. I would have rooted for him had he chosen ANY other team. If he wins a championship, I don't want him to re-sign to retire s a Cav. I know it's weird but who cares...

 

[doughboy90650]

Big Z has earned the right to ring chase not Lebron...

you do this type of move when you're approaching or at the end of your career; not in the prime.

I guess. Z was always loyal to Cleveland and did say he wanted to retire here. But we weren't loyal to him because we traded him away...Man this sucks.

Wish Z would stay here. Now i want the Heat to win a chip, just for Z.
