Brian Windhorst talks about Z waiting for a roster spot to clear before committing to the Cavs in his must listen podcast.

“To Hickson’s credit, he has slowly continued to establish himself this season. One of the reasons Brown reversed course and decided to make Hickson the starter instead of the more natural Anderson Varejao — who will probably still see a lot of time matched with Lopez on Wednesday — is how well Hickson plays with the other starters.”  [Brian Windhorst]

“Just in case he’d forgotten, the Cavaliers gave Zydrunas Ilgauskas a collective hug over the past two days.” [Brian Windhorst]

The guys over at WFNY organized a big collective hug for Z with a Haiku contest.

Also from WFNY, Andy Varejao’s place in NBA history?

[Marc Berman – NY Post] “Knicks forward Al Harrington doesn’t see it [LeBron in NYC] happening, and he’s not in the minority.”

“Not only is it a way to maximize his salary, but it would put pressure on whatever team he is on to surround him with the best talent in order to win a championship.” [George Willis – NY Post]

CDR says a lot but doesn’t really say anything about LBJ’s plans…

The Summer of 2013?

Peter May thinks the Cavs will be just fine until Shaq gets back.

Bill Veeck is rolling over in his grave.

ben (new york): How much better is Lebron than anyone else right now, including Kobe? And the scary thing is his jumpshot is still not as pure/consistent as it seems it can and will be as he works on it some more ditto for his postup game.
David Thorpe: Way better.

Hilarious Windhorst Tweet: For fun, my two fave Rosen lines about LeBron? 1. “The best King James can ever be is an average NBA player” 2. LeBron is an “airhead kid.”
