Ben Wallace to Cleveland in three-team trade (UPDATE)

I'm waiting for a couple of the participants in this trade to call me back, but in the meantime, colleague David Aldridge of the Philadelphia Inquirer and TNT has the following version on his blog. There are other versions out there, but I'll take my chances giving you the word from DA:

Chicago sends Ben Wallace and Joe Smith to Cleveland. The Bulls get Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden from the Cavs, who also send Ira Newble, Donyell Marshall, and Adrian Griffin to Seattle for Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West.

Aldridge is blogging away just after landing in Atlanta, where he's doing TNT tonight, so let's give the man his due. He also has a trade I haven't seen reported anywhere else -- Minnesota sending Gerald Green to Houston for Kirk Snyder and a second-round pick. Portland had no run to offer rookie PG Taurean Green, who is being sent to Denver for Von Wafer. Wonder if the Knicks did their due diligence on Green, whom they should've drafted last April ...

The ball hasn't dropped on Ron Artest's attempted escape from Sacramento, but a person with knowledge of his situation said he's not optimistic. As of now, "Staying put," the person said.

Will keep you posted.
