The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired forward Cedric Simmons from the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for guard David Wesley, Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry announced today.
Simmons, 21, was selected in the first round (15th overall pick) of the 2006 NBA Draft by the Hornets. In 43 games (four starts) during the 2006-07 season, he averaged 2.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game.
“Cedric is a young, talented player,” said Ferry. “We look forward to participating in his continued development here in Cleveland.”
Simmons tied career highs in both points (10) and rebounds (9) versus Denver on Dec. 29, 2006. Wesley, who signed with the Cavs as a free agent on September 5, 2006, played in 35 games (five starts) for the Cavs, posting averages of 2.1 points and 1.1 assists in 10.1 minutes per game.

Don't call it a holdout, but when the Cavs open training camp Monday, the signs point to Sasha Pavlovic not being there.
The Cavs, meanwhile, appear to be preparing to move on by making free-agent moves and engaging in their most heated trade talks since July.
The sides have been far apart on a long-term deal for months. Now it appears the fallback option, a one-year so-called ''qualifying offer'' of $2.8 million, no longer seems to be an option.
Marc Cornstein, Pavlovic's agent, said Friday that Pavlovic is planning on letting the offer expire Monday. Pavlovic is in Europe with no plans to travel to Cleveland this weekend.
