It seems like Dan Gilbert is now going to have to write another letter to the Cleveland Cavaliers fans. According to ESPN.com, Zydrunas Ilgauskas' agent has said that he will join the Miami Heat along with another former Cavaliers teammate, LeBron James.
Ilgauskas has spent his entire 14-year career in Cleveland. The Lithuanian center was drafted 20th overall in the 1996 NBA Draft.
Miami is slowly becoming a team of superstars after spending luxuriously this offseason. Along with James and Ilgauskas, the Heat have reacquired Dwayne Wade and signed Chris Bosh away from Toronto.
Ilgauskas, a two-time All-Star, averaged 7.4 points and 5.4 rebounds per game last season while coming off the bench in Cleveland. The 7-foot-3 player has also earned the nickname "Big Z" during his tenure in Cleveland due to his gargantuan stature.
The 35-year-old is reportedly signing a two-year deal with a player option for next season.
