If it's easy to find a guy like Varejao, why would anyone give us anything for him? How many guys in the league right now are "like" Anderson Varejao?
Just because I say "like" Andy, doesn't mean I said "as good as Andy." It also didn't mean they are the exact same player. It just means they do some things the same.
There are players that offer many of the same things Andy does. It doesn't mean Andy is a bad player. The point of my whole post is that it is a lot harder to find a star player than it is to find a good role player. Based on that, if the Cavs feel Williams is a star, I wouldn't be upset with trading Andy at all.
Just some guys off the top of my head that are similar to Andy (better in some ways, worse in others) in ways Haslem, K. Mart, Noah, Taj Gibson, Luis Scola, Camby, Tyson Chandler, Gortat, Okafor.
All of those guys are mobile bigs that hustle and rebound. Most of them also play very good all around defense.
I think Andy is a solid player. A great role player. But to say he is as valuable as a star player is just stupid. (not directed at you specifically, I don't know your views on that).
