Re: Anderson Varejao is our untouchable
Get what you can for him. He will not be a part of the rebuild and will, in fact, hinder it by adding wins and worsening our draft position. He is probably our most valuable trade-able asset and Grant needs to strike while the iron is hot.
- My feeling before the season.
I've fallen in love with Andy, all over again.
- Me now.
I want Andy to retire as a Cav. I can deny my love no longer. Last year and this are a testament to the insane amount of value he has to this basketball team. His hustle and attitude are contagious. The amount of entertainment he brings is undeniable. And his knowledge of the game, his craftiness, and his pure basketball ability are vastly underrated. He might be the smartest bigman in the game right now, possibly outside of Duncan.
He has so many tricks. He has so much to teach. Every teammate loves him. His coaches love him. He's a John Holmes load of Elmer's glue to this team. And, all of a sudden, he's respected around the league. It used to be that opposing bigs, and especially the big names in league in general, would treat him like a mere annoyance and a total outsider; I don't know how it happened, but now, while he's still annoying, he's suddenly clearly respected by other teams for it. It's crazy seeing him laughing and getting all gripped up with other teams' stars, like he belongs. And I really enjoy the legitimacy it seems to bring to the team in my mind.
He's not playing so effectively by leaping around the gym swatting shots and dunking everything. Hell, his left foot was about 3 inches off the floor when he dunked it last night. He's agile, but I don't know that his athleticism diminishing will hurt his game as much as I once feared. It's his anticipation and knowledge of where to be and when that make him so damn good. He just knows how to play the game.
So there it is. It's out there. I love him. I wanna type it out in all caps from a mountaintop.
P.S. I wouldn't be upset if we traded him for an unprotected first from a lottery team though, I guess. I'm a fickle lover.
