Cavaliers coach Mike Brown says that Zydrunas Ilgauskas' name hasn't been mentioned to him in possible trade scenarios.

However, Cleveland general manager Danny Ferry isn't ruling anything out.

"I never rule out anything," Ferry said. "But he's been important to us."

Ferry is a former teammate of Ilgauskas, who is the longest-tenured Cavalier in franchise history.

"It's hard to trade anyone and especially with people that the organization cares about," Ferry said. "It would be hard to trade anyone. Trading people is not something that you ... enjoy doing."
