Talks slow on Ilgauskas
July 10
Akron Beacon Journal (registration required): "After making a major splash by agreeing to terms with shooting guard Larry Hughes late Thursday, the Cavaliers have shifted their focus to getting a contract done with Zydrunas Ilgauskas. But things are moving slowly... The Atlanta Hawks, who have more than $20 million in cap space, are recruiting Phoenix Suns guard Joe Johnson and hope to also land Ilgauskas in a package deal that will greatly improve their fortunes."
