Anderson Varejao agrees to a six year deal with the Cavaliers

Thu, Jul 9, 2009 By Tariq Ali

The Cavaliers have come to terms with Anderson Varejao, agent Dan Fegan said Wednesday.

Varejao is set to get six-years contract and worth as much as $50 million. According to Fegan, the Portland Trail Blazers and Oklahoma City Thunder were also interested in him and other potential sign-and-trade offers from other teams, but Varejao wanted to remain in Cleveland because “He feels there is unfinished business — to win an NBA championship.” Fegan said.

The Cavaliers are also close to signing Toronto’s guard Anthony Paker and the deal is expected to be completed in the next several days.
