He's now an unrestricted free agent, so add him to the list of availables.

Andy wasn't feeling the love with the Shaq trade?

I say let him go take up Orlando's or San Antonio's MLE.  He doesn't do much for me.  That would be 1 less MLE available for Artest or Marion.

I agree. Too one-dimensional to deserve the full MLE, IMHO, but I'm sure someone will give it to him.

It's worth offering him the full MLE - Varejao would be my favourite for the MLE if the C's could get him for it - but he'll likely turn it down for a slightly better contract with the Cavaliers.

Brickowski hates Marbury and endorses Varejao ? Cool ......

Andy is the biggest flopping fool in the league. He brings nothing else to the table.

I don't know that the Cavs will offer him that much as they will want to preserve their flexibility next season.  Besides, they already have two Centers on the roster, why pay big money for a third?

I would be fine with Andy on the Cs, at a good price (eg: hard to complain if he gets a multiyear deal starting at $3M -- that's about right for a decent big man coming off the bench).

It's all about the money, he wants a long term deal. He'll re-sign with the Cavs for around 7 or 8 million.

I want no part of side show Bob on the C's considering who else is available.  The guy is a flopper and resembles the likes of Noah on the Bulls. Both should be deep bench players at best and should not be paid more than the LLE.

He is nowhere close to Noah who is going to be an all defense team player at some point in his career . Varejao is just a flopper and nothing else.

Did you not watch him bang with KG in the playoffs in 2008? He's not just a flopper, it's a part of his game but so what. Posey is also a flopper.

I agree.  I really like Noah.

Varejao is the biggest flopper in the league by far. Posey can actually defend. Oh and by the way KG had a pretty [dang] good series against Cleveland

KG                   Varejao

   1= 28 / 8          1=  1 / 1
   2= 13 / 12         2= 3/ 10
   3= 17/ 9           3= 5 / 1
   4= 15/ 10          4= 12/ 6
   5= 26/ 16          5= 4/ 7
   6= 25/ 8           6= 4/ 5
7= 13/ 13          7= 5/ 2

I can't tell you how happy I was to see Ray give this punk a shot
