Varejao?
I don't really know the Cavs situation off top of my head but id think a back court of Irving Bradley could look good
I think Varejao is a dream fit for our current group. His manic hustle, tremendous possession creation (one of the best offensive rebounders I've ever watched) and pick and roll defensive excellence would do wonders for this team.
If something like Bass/Bradley wasn't appealing to them, maybe Lee/Melo/future first would be.
What makes most sense for them will be Green. It is the only position they do not have a young potential starter at.
And yes, I would make that trade if it becomes clear that rebounding and interior defense is still a major problem with this team.
Hmmm... If Pietrus was willing to join midseason, that would be an appealing trade to me. I think Rondo/Bradley/Pierce/Sully/KG with a Terry/Lee/Pietrus/Bass/Varejao bench is a pretty incredible team.
But if you could convince Cleveland that Bass is the pick/pop guy Irving needs, Melo is their defensive 5 of the future (a nice tandem with Zeller, maybe) and Kris Joseph & a future pick are nice assets, and all they need to send over is Anderson Varejao and Jon Leuer (passable 3rd string PF), I'd be more stoked.
Rondo(35)/Terry(25)
Bradley (25)/Lee (25)
Pierce(32)/Green (12)
Sully (24)/Green (16)
KG (28)/Varejao (28)
That is a killer rotation.
