Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Wally Szczerbiak said on Sunday that they both want to return to the Cavaliers next season.

Ilgauskas has a $10.54 million player option in his contract for the 2009-10 season, and Szczerbiak will be an unrestricted free agent.

"That's been my thought process all along," Ilgauskas said of exercising the option. "I'm going to be 34 years old (on Friday). There's no greener pastures for me. I'm a Cavalier and I've always been a Cavalier."

Szczerbiak's return to Cleveland is much less certain. He made $13 million this season, and would have to take a substantial pay cut in order to remain with the Cavaliers.

"I'd love to be back, but I have no idea," Szczerbiak said. "I've never been a free agent like this before in my career."
