Re: Rumor: Anderson Varejao Deal Close

No, supposedly there is a three way trade in the works that will bring Bosh and Dwight Howard to Cleveland.


Stay tuned......

Re: Rumor: Anderson Varejao Deal Close

Would you rather the news be that we couldn't re-sign Andy? That we'd be even more screwed with our PF/bigs situation by losing out on our most proven young big?

If Ferry or Fegan truly caved in, I'd imagine it'd have to be Fegan. No way Ferry crumbles this early into free agent talks (you can't even sign players til tomorrow anyway).

And if it DOES end up being a 4-5 year contract, I'd take that as nothing but a good sign. If LBJ had any kind of talk with Ariza about remaining a Cav, surely LBJ has done the same with Andy to a degree. Now that's both Boobie and Andy who have signed long term deals, knowing damn well that they could be left here with a Lebron-less Cavs team come 2010.

Good point.

Nice! I like the thoughts of a Shaq-Andy Front court.

LeBron told Anderson he was staying past 2010 according to a couple sources close to the Coconut factory Anderson's family lives by in Brazil..

Anything over 7 Million is overpaying imo.

A little dose of reality. mle for 5 years equals 36 mil (if mle is 5.8)....thus I would expect it be 4 years 32 mill or 5 year 40 mill. Both are bargains by big man standards. It wasnt long ago that bigs like Nene with less accomplished got a much bigger contract.

It's important, yes, but we still need to come up with More than just Shaq and Andy out of this off-season if we expect bring home a 'ship.

Re: Rumor: Anderson Varejao Deal Close

The significance:

We had heard that AV was planning on doing a 2 year deal with a short leash if LeBron moved on. News of a 4-5 year deal leads me to believe the organization and AV know something about LeBron's future.

That would be nicer news.

Moo

Great. Hope it doesnt strap us in 2010 but I know it will.

Re: Rumor: Anderson Varejao Deal Close

It's always good to keep a guy that started 42 games for a 66 win team, regardless.

Let's hope the next few days are productive for us.

Sources close to the Varejao camp are denying this now. Broussard just twittered that sources close to the sources near where Varejao's camp camps deny that there was a denial.

Of course. There's no need to even say that though considering the Cavs have been saying that re-signing Andy was going to be our #1 free agent priority this offseason.
