Does this mean we are done, or does it look loike we will try to sign another FA big man?.. I saw a mention on hoopshype that John Thomas will work out for the cavs today (PF from Minn).
I was thinking signing Z was that last step is taking on free agents, because it limits our flexibility. I am also thinking that it would not have made any sense to trade before Z was signed..

After Z, we have to sign Henderson, then possibly White...
When we sign Ilgauskas, we'll officially have 12 players opn our roster. Henderson and White bring this to 14 if this goes through, leaving just one roster spot free should we choose to fill it.
Good to see Ilgauskas hold off his signing to help Ferry extract as much as he can with his free cap space. The resigning of Ilgauskas is just as significant, if not more, then the signing of Hughes.

Press Conference summary
The clip from the conference is up on the main page at nba.com if you want to watch it. Here's my brief summary of it:
Ferry opened with a funny story about Zydrunas asking if they had to hold a press conference to announce his re-signing and if there had to be one, not to make it a big deal. It was a nice, light-hearted moment. Coach Brown made a few brief comments and the microphone went to Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
Ilgauskas said Cleveland has become a home to him and his family. He said from a basketball standpoint, it would have been hard to leave Cleveland because if he went somewhere else, he’d be checking the scores to keep tabs on how Cleveland was doing. Zydrunas feels good about the improved roster as well.
Cub Cadet (lawn equipment company) has joined with the Cleveland Cavaliers organization (multi-year deal) and in the course of the conference, Ilgauskas was given the “Z” as a gift (a tractor).
Ferry took the microphone again and a question-and-answer period began. Ilgauskas said being on a winning team at this point in his career was a big factor in his decision. He wants to win and believes the Cavaliers are a winning team moving in the right direction. Ferry was asked about Jay Williams and what he thought about Williams' comeback. Ferry said he is excited seeing Jay try to play basketball again but said he wasn’t ready to play in the NBA right now. But Ferry said he will keep an eye on Jay's progress, like all the other teams in the league will.
The question-and-answer period ended and Ferrry wrapped things up by saying he hopes the Cavaliers can become a great Ohio story (like Cub Cadet).
