Hmmm....for some odd reason a 7/7 guy with limited offensive ability isn't worth $9-10mil. I could understand him getting the MLE, but he's not worth what his agent wants. His offensive game isn't much to write home about. He's really just a hustle player, and those aren't worth $10mil a year.
To be fair, he has potential, but that doesn't warrant $10 million per year. However, if the Cavs hold out for around $6 or 7 million, then Varejao won't have an option, like Gooden last year, and will probably end up signing a 3 year deal.
per year. I'm basically talking about the in and around MLE mark. If he signs for that, I will be pleased. If not, they have to try a sign and trade, which will be tricky due to the BYC.
See, I think he's worthy of the MLE. Just for his size alone, the MLE seems like a fair deal. But I don't think you can give someone $10mil a year that hasn't done that much yet, regardless of his potential.
At least the GM of the Cavs isn't Otis Smith...Anderson Varejao, 7 Years, 100 Million. Defenitly worth it... Man, he is not worth 7 per year. I don't even think Bosh makes 7 per year, and he averages a double double.
Bosh signed a three year extension worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $60mil last year. He makes a lot more than $7mil.
