That's a dirty combination, but it won't mean anything if Cleveland can't keep Ilgauskas on top of that.
Cleveland is one player away from being a championship caliber team, and it's on the wing where they need some help. Michael Redd/LeBron would be sick as well.
Allen's asking for $90M over 5 years, which is pretty ridiculous. Even though the Cavs can afford it, they'd have zero chance of resigning McInnis (not a huge loss), but more importantly they'd lose the second best center in the East in Z too. Is Ray worth McInnis and Z? McInnis sure, but Z? Heck no.
Forget Ray, he's well out of the Cavs' price range. Start thinking about Redd, Hughes, or Johnson.
I do not have access to the article that is posted above, so I have not read it. You can dream, but its not gonna happen. The Sonics would be shooting themselves in the foot to let Ray go. Here a local Seattle article on Ray's contract negotiations:
I'd rather get a SG like Redd or something than lose Z and J-Mac (not a big loss, but a loss nonetheless) for Ray. Plus, If we do get a good SG we might as well get a young one. Ray's getting a little old, at least compared to guys like Redd.
Ray Ray says ok to come to Clev?
