Floppy-Haired Brazilian Anderson Varejao traded for Channing Frye

As the NBA trade deadline came to an end the Cavaliers made a huge move trading fan favorite Anderson Varejao for Channing Frye. The deadly three point shooter is a good fit for the Cavaliers with a drive and dish offense. Tyronn Lue is allowing the offense to flow through LeBron...which can help the team with better scoring chances, more double teams in the paint, and open three pointers for Frye. Anderson Varejao has been paid $42 million dollars over the past five seasons and has only played over 31 games once in a season!!!! ONCE!!!! The Cavaliers made a really good decision by freeing up money on an injury-prone player.

Channing Frye was traded away from the struggling Orlando Magic, and not a minute to late. Frye is averaging a stifling 5.1 points per game but with his 6' 11'' frame at the power forward position the Cavaliers are looking to exploit the height of Frye. His tremendous stroke from three point land is the key factor in the acquisition for Anderson Varejao.

When I became a Cleveland Cavaliers fan was in 2003....when the Cavs took LeBron James as the first overall pick. It was probably the most exciting, nerve racking, experience I have ever been a part of. Considering I was only 11 when LeBron stepped onto an NBA court to play in his first game as a pro. Averaging 20.9 points a game his first season he captured the Rookie of the Year Award in 2004. One of the most memorable games was when the Cavs played the Denver Nuggets with Carmelo Anthony.
