Through a third-party source, Chad Ford of ESPN reports in his chat that the Cavaliers are discussing a trade with the Bulls that would bring Ben Wallace to Cleveland.

Drew Gooden, Ira Newble, Shannon Brown and Cederic Simmons would go to Chicago in the discussed trade.

Hmmm...

The Cavaliers are discussing a deal where Ben Wallace and Chris Duhon would go to Cleveland for Larry Hughes, according to ESPN's Ric Bucher.

Chad Ford reports that a source tells him the deal would send Wallace, Duhon and Joe Smith for Hughes and Drew Gooden.

The holdup in the deal, according to Ford, is Cleveland's instance that Hughes be included. If the Cavs drop that demand, the Bulls will reportedly agree.

Bucher also reports that if the Cavs make the Bulls trade, they would then deal Donyell Marshall and Ira Newble to Seattle for Wally Szczerbiak.

RealGM Note: The Cavaliers would need to add more salary in order to make the deal work, which could lead to the inclusion of Shannon Brown.

So they would end up bringing in Ben Wallace, Chris Duhon, Joe Smith, and Wally Szczerbiak. I wonder how Lebron would feel about that.

The Cavaliers have acquired Ben Wallace, Joe Smith, Delonte West and Wally Szczerbiak in a three-team trade.

The Bulls receive Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden, while Seattle gets Chris Duhon, Ira Newble and Cedric Simmons.

^ Looks good. I don't know why the fuck Chicago would do it but hey whatever.

Weird trade. I thought Gooden was a good complement to LeBron. Oh well, I guess they've still got Z.

Bulls kept Duhon (I like him as a backup pg).

Plus we took out Denver last night with Big Ben gone and none of the newbies had shown up for the game. Things may be startin to look up in Chi-Town. :)

True story! I'm guessing they were still just playing him "minimal minutes" until he's 100%.

When I checked on the Bulls' site earlier in the day they said he would not be playing, but I turn the game on and there he is having a decent game. I expect to see him back in the starting lineups within the next 3 games though. :)

Ben Wallace will Fit In Great with Cleveland.
Injury's is what The Cavs Got To worry about.

Gibson & Anderson Varejao need To be back ASAP.
Cleveland will make it farther Than most Think.

I Pick Them To make It To The East finals.

First Game For Big Ben As a Cav, Not bad

Ben Wallace, who started at Power Forward, scored 12 points, tying his season high, and had 10 rebounds
