For one, the team is already over the luxury tax threshold, which means signing him will cost the team upwards of $10 million a season. I don't think there's any chance whatsoever that the Cavs let him walk, but if anything that gives perspective on why the team was so hesitant to meet his alleged demands for $9 million a year. But no matter where he ends up playing, I can't see how anyone can describe his holdout as anything but a remarkable success. Bill Livingston of the Cleveland Plain Dealer apparently disagrees: So Anderson Varejao's mindless holdout was a big flop. The money in the $17.4 million, three-year offer sheet Charlotte gave him is less annually ($5.8 million to $6.4 million) than the five-year, $32 million deal the Cavaliers first offered. The Cavs are almost certain to match it and retain Varejao for the first two years of the deal. At that point, he is free to take his game elsewhere as one gosh-darn attractive free agent, as long as some team's heart's desire is seven points and seven rebounds per game.
