can we trade for Varejao?

[gutz]

He wants out of Cleveland. Maybe we can give them Lue and filler in a sign and trade of some sort. We could use him in the rotation and he plays hard all the time.

...but Zaza can give us 6/6 and flop around like a ragdoll, so what's the point?

Stay away from him...He's a nice player to have on a team but he wants like 9 or 10 million a year supposedly(which is insane).

Its easy, you offer Shelden and Salim. For Varejao and a Future 1st.

You tell Cleveland to sign him to a 4 year 25 million contract

Varejao will be what we hope that Solo would turn into...a energy big off of the bench to back up Smoove at PF.

He wants more $$ than that.

Maybe he does, but the fact that he hasn't received an offer from any team yet probably lowers his fee. Because I am sure that if any team offered 10 million per, Cleveland probably wouldn't have matched. He probably doesn't get 6 mil per in Europe either.

Trade Zaza and Speedy for Varejao
