The
Cavaliers said they acquired center Ben Wallace and forward Wally Szczerbiak in
a three-way trade involving 11 players that was completed shortly before
Thursday's deadline.
The
Cavaliers sent guard Larry Hughes, forwards Drew Gooden and Cedric Simmons, and
guard Shannon Brown to Chicago
for Wallace and forward Joe Smith.
Cleveland acquired Szczerbiak and guard Delonte West from Seattle for forwards Ira
Newble and Donyell Marshall.
Cleveland also gets Chicago's
second-round pick in 2009. The SuperSonics will also receive guard Adrian
Griffin from the Bulls.
