Ben Wallace was traded along with Joe Smith to Cleveland for Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden, according to the Chicago Tribune. The Cavs also included Cedric Simmons to make the money work under the salary cap.

"I had a good time here," Wallace said Thursday. "I enjoyed being one of the guys. And I had a good season last year."

"It's one of those things you come in and play hard and try to give what you give and not worry about what you can't control," Wallace said. "We had some guys that were banged up and beat up a bit. It was tough for us to get everybody on the floor and try to play basketball."
