Wizards center Zydrunas Ilgauskas will have to give back some money if a buyout is going to occur. David Aldridge writes about Z in a story on NBA.com.

Also, Yahoo! Sports columnist Adrian Wojnarowski writes about the league turning its head when side deals are done. It's a very well-written piece.

Ilgauskas' buyout could happen later today.

It looks like the Cavs will have to dig into their bi-annual exception to re-sign Z if he becomes a free agent.
