Since Deng is gone maybe JS.

The Cavs tried to work a sign-and-trade with Chicago for Luol Deng, but the Bulls decided to keep him to the tune of $71 million over six years. They'd rather have Deng (both the Cavs and Bulls) than restricted free agent Ben Gordon, who wants a Deng-type deal. The Cavs do have an interest in Kirk Hinrich, but nothing may come of that for a while -- if ever.

And again:

Things remain suspiciously quiet in Cleveland, where the Cavaliers have made only two offers with their midlevel exception--to SFs Corey Maggette and James Posey. Both signed much bigger deals elsewhere. The Cavs remain logjammed in the frontcourt. Now that their free-agent possibilities have dried up, trade talks involving C Zydrunas Ilgauskas or F/C Anderson Varejao are the next step.

I have always liked Zydrunas but he is getting a little old. They can keep Anderson Varejao; I like his attitude, seems to be scrappy as hell but he would not help us out enough.

Guess I am saying no; one is to old and the other is not talented enough...

Not saying that I like the trade, but what do you think big Z would do for Horford's game? He would definately get some help.
