Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game

It appears Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West got their wish. ESPN is reporting that Szczerbiak and Delonte West are headed to Cleveland in a three-way deal that also involves Chicago.

According to NBA sources, the deal calls for the Cavaliers to receive Ben Wallace, Szczerbiak, West, Chicago's Joe Smith and a future second-round pick from the Bulls.

The Bulls would get Cavaliers forward Drew Gooden and swingman Larry Hughes, along with Cleveland reserves Cedric Simmons and Shannon Brown.

Seattle, which just traded Kurt Thomas a day ago, gets even more cap flexibility by ridding itself of Szczerbiak’s contract, and picks up the expiring contracts of Cleveland's Ira Newble and Chicago's Adrian Griffin as well as Cavs veteran Donyell Marshall.

The three-way deal has reportedly been submitted for league approval, and is currently being reviewed.

After two, injury-plagued seasons Szczerbiak rejuvenated his career in Seattle, averaging 13.1 points as a reserve, but wanted to start and to play for a winner. West has been frustrated with his lack of playing time and his limited role with the Sonics.
