Independence-ohio sports News

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio - Cleveland center Ben Wallace is considering retirement following the Cavaliers' elimination from the playoffs.
Wallace, a four-time NBA defensive player of the year, said that a combination of injuries, declining production and a loss of passion for the game has him thinking about quitting. He plans to sit down with his family before deciding his next movet.
The 14-year veteran suffered a broken leg this season and suffered from tendinitis in his knees. Wallace has one season left on a contract worth $14 million, but says the money will not be a factor on whether he decides to play another year.
Wallace won an NBA title in 2004 with Detroit.
LeBron happy in Cleveland despite loss
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio - LeBron James says not making the NBA finals will have no impact on his future with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The league MVP can become a free agent in 2010, and there has been rampant speculation that he will sign elsewhere when his contract expires. However, James insists the Cavs' loss to the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference finals will not affect his plans.
James, who declined to speak with the media following Saturday night's loss, said he's happy in Cleveland and feels the club has made significant progress and is close to winning its first title.
