He turns down the only offer he received. Sounds to me like he's retired.
Just because you read the article, doesn't mean it needs its own thread.

as far as i've heard, there's no proof of Szczerbiak being signed anywhere. i know at one point he had a sprained left knee but i don't know if that is affecting his career 09-10. to be completely honest, OH WELL! Jamario Moon is gonna make up for him and Sasha Pavlovic! |

Wally's father said he is going to retire due to injury and to spend time with his family
Give the guy a break! you guys are brutal. Wally is a great teammate and seems like a graet individual and he did have a very solid NBA career with an All-Star appearance and a great shooting stroke. He was over the hill when we got him, but don't discount what he accomplished in the NBA

wally was a lead extender. What I mean by that is, he and boobie -with their few 3 pointers a game, took the lead from ten or so to over twenty points in games, they were the blowout guys, I didn't want him to go. if possible, I think we should bring him back. |

here's a new article about Wally saying he may not play in the NBA again: www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/2009/11...
New York -- As he sat courtside at Madison Square Garden about an hour before tipoff Friday night, Wally Szczerbiak accepted a steady stream of handshakes, hugs and smiles from his former Cavaliers teammates and coaches. Szczerbiak is in New York rehabbing from knee surgery, one that has left his future as a player in doubt. After his contract with the Cavs expired in June, he spoke to several teams but also ended up talking to his several doctors. During the Cavs' playoff run, his troublesome left knee started flaring up. He hoped rest would help, and he even was negotiating with several teams about a free-agent contract. "When I started to amp it up for the season, it was bugging me, so I had to do something about it," Szczerbiak said. "I've had a lot of wear on that knee, and that is something that comes with four years of college and 10 years in the NBA." Three weeks ago, Szczerbiak had his knee scoped to clean out a bone spur and repair his meniscus. It was the third surgery he's had on the same knee. He's not ruling out a return perhaps even in the second half of this season. But with the economy tight and his recovery uncertain, he's also realizing that he could have played his last game. "Health is first and foremost, especially in life after basketball, and I don't want to be crippled at age 40," said Szczerbiak, who is 32 and an avid golfer. "I've been fortunate to make a ton of money, the game has been so generous. I've been smart with my money, and I'm set for life, so that is nice to know. But from a competitive side, I felt I had good last year, and I still think I might be able to help a good team." Szczerbiak, who just completed a six-year deal worth more than $60 million, averaged 7.0 points and 3.1 rebounds while hitting 41 percent on 3-pointers in 74 games with the Cavs last year. He averaged 14.1 points in 10 seasons with the Timberwolves, Celtics, SuperSonics and Cavs. "I felt great during most of last season, and I think I played pretty well in my role," Szczerbiak said. "In the playoffs, it flared up." He still considers Cleveland home and is planning on living there full time with his wife and children when his rehab is finished. He will see the Cavs' doctors, attend games and may even work out at Cleveland Clinic Courts. And there's always a chance he still could help the Cavs this season. The Cavs still have Szczerbiak's so-called "Bird rights," meaning they could use him in an exotic sign-and-trade scenario that has been seen in the NBA in the past. It would be a way to acquire a player without giving one up. "I've thought about that, and it is really up to them," Szczerbiak said. "I won't be filing my retirement papers and they still have my rights." D'Antoni on Shaq: New York Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni can relate to the Cavs' current situation. Trying all out to get LeBron James to sign a contract next summer? Well, that too, but more specifically trying to integrate Shaquille O'Neal into a team. He did it two years ago as the coach of the Phoenix Suns when they acquired him at the trade deadline. Watching O'Neal with the Cavs, D'Antoni said everyone needs to be patient. "Every team is different; it depends on whether you're trying to win a championship or be one of the better teams," D'Antoni said. "To not have any bumps . . . it's hard to put a one-week, two-weeks, one-month [estimate on it], I don't know. I do know he is willing to do anything for the team, and with that you can figure it out. If you have good players and they're willing to do whatever for each other, it doesn't take that long."
