I'm a Cavs fan and I think that is waaaayyyyy too much money. But....you guys who say they should have signed someone else instead are stupid. The only reason they could offer Varejao that much money is because he is their free agent. The best they could offer someone else's FA is the midlevel. I hate Varejao.

The cavs would have been better off offering Rasheed this kind of money. Hell they should have thrown it at milsap, lee, bass, anyone besides side show. With Shaq lurking down low, you need a PF who can shoot the ball... with big Z at center side show kind of worked, but with shaq. I FEEL LIKE I AM TAKING CRAZY PILLS! i honestly cant believe they would actually pay this guy so much. he is a BACKUP!

Have the terms been verified and posted somewhere? Because I can't understand how they could ever offer this much money to Varejao unless Lebron told them to. And I don't see that happening either. This is like a bad dream. Is this for real? Have the terms been verified and posted somewhere?

So does that scrub in Toronto, the number #1, Barngani or whatever his name is. Give the latter a nickname. WTF? A role player getting superstar money! Anderson Vagina gets 50 Million.

Also, this signing is a little steep but Varejao is an important piece for the Cavs. He's young, active, plays good defense, makes the small plays that get you wins. And if he's out, who plays the 4?

David Lee would be a far better addition. The Cavs had a lot of options and just took some off the table by throwing all this money at Varejao (would any other team offered as much?) varejao is really not very good, I say this not as a hater but as a man…a man that really does not like Varejao.
