  The greatest Cavalier to ever be traded to the Wizards, bought out, and returned back to the Cavaliers, and you can take that to the bank.
• sjmvsfscs08

  For once, I completely agree with you.

  Sooooo happy. Can't wait to see Big Z back in uniform.

  Wouldn't the 30 days rule put the first home game on the 28th vs Sacramento? Or am I missing something.

  I think the 30 days starts from the time the trade is completed(everyone passes physicals etc)
• devil1197

  30 days since trade was finalized.
  
  Z should be back the 21st, that place is going to go fucking nuts when he hits the court.

  The ball is in Z's court. Z can be courted and signed immediately by other teams...reportedly 3 or 4 are actively interested in ZBall. My hope and guess is that he returns. But Mike Brown did snub him on his record setting night a few months ago.
  
  Even with Z's shortcomings, he is much needed for this team to win it all. He had a horrible shooting start, but was very instrumental in the Cavs 25 and 2 run, after our guards got hurt.

  In what will most likely be his last year, I can't see him turning down his best chance to win a championship with the team that gave him contracts when most others would have put a metaphorical slug in his ass.

  Nothing is set in stone yet as he still has to sign somewhere. I doubt he goes elsewhere but he could go somewhere else if he wants.
• devil1197

  He isn't going anywhere. The guy has already been back in Avon Lake relaxing with his family.
  
  He'll live in the Cleveland area for the rest of his life.

  ZZZZZZZZ!!!! The Q is gonna be off the charts when he comes back!!!! HELL YEAH!
• Cleveland Buck

  

  If he comes back, he should start his first home game back, just so the team and fans and show their appreciation for the big fella.
• sportswizuhrd

  Better be a standing O for Big Z when he gets back.
