For the first time in his NBA career, Wally Szczerbiak will be a free agent this summer, but he'd prefer to stay in Cleveland.

"Of course, I'd want to come back," Szczerbiak said. "But I don't worry about that stuff, I'm just playing as hard as I can because I'm a firm believer that contract stuff affects you in a negative way."

The Cavaliers have used Szczerbiak effectively off the bench, and could entertain the idea of re-signing him this summer.

"Once you find a place and a system you are comfortable with, you can work to get better," Szczerbiak said. "I am not a big proponent for change."
