The Cavaliers and forward Anderson Varejao have come to terms on a new contract.

The deal is for six years and $50 million, Varejao's agent, Dan Fegan, told the Plain Dealer.

"Andy wants to stay in Cleveland," Fegan said. "He feels there is unfinished business -- to win an NBA Championship."

Varejao had interest from several teams, including the Portland Trail Blazers and Oklahoma City Thunder and other potential sign-and-trade offers as well. But he and the Cavs were able to work through a deal over the last week to keep him with the Cavs, where he has been for his whole career.
We overpaid but whatever. He is going to be the starter once Shaq leaves, and we had to lock him up. But we sure did set the standard for big man. Good luck signing Odom back LA.

At least you didn`t overpay like the Raptors did with Bargnani. 5 years $50 million

I'd MUCH rather have Bargnani for 5 years and 50 million then Varajeo for 6 years and 50 million

People will laugh at the contract, and most hate him because of his flopping but he is a very good player. He averaged a double double when starting I believe, and showed signs of improving his offensive game. And flopping is apart of defense, and he is good on D.

He isnt a player worth that type of contract but the cavs had to have him to make a run at a title.

Yea he still looks bad, I don't know why a contract of another player would effect how he looks. Not to mention there career stats are almost identical. Don't blow up on me, I know Bynum is better.

Alright, the actual deal is 6 years, 42.5 million dollars. That's not too bad.
