		<description><![CDATA[You&#039;re smart. All the haters are dumb. Heat fan here, I would keep Haslem and Miller, Cavs don&#039;t deserve those two champions. Probably keep battier too, I do however think Varejao is the missing piece the heat need. And I think Miami should seriously consider trading Bosh to get him. Bosh would give Cleveland a star power forward. Miami would finally have a real center. Haslem as the starting power forward, Shane at the 3, Lebron and Dwade as the backcourt.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chief,

You make my point even more valid for gilbert grape and the rest of the mad Cav fans. You are rational, even if you are a Cav fan. 

Varejao going to South Beach would be Varejao&#039;s best opportunity to win a Chip. 

Ahahahaha]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cleveland homer smoking chronic !!!

The real question is did you read what I wrote !  Who cares about the article !  The fact is, the Cavs want to move Varejao. 

My proposal is for Cleveland to give LBJ something in return for all the years he helped such a horrid city !  I mean he actually lived there, even though he was a Multi- Millionaire....Who does that !

Giving him a player in Varejao, that may help him win ring #2, is the LEAST gilber-grape can do !

ahahahah]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I knew that comment would call out all the Cav fans..Let me check ya&#039;ll, one by one !!!

1. Slowthinkingcyde - Those &quot;4 crappy players&quot; have something NON of the current Cavs have - Championship experience. They all were instrumental in winning the Chip, just last year. If you can&#039;t appreciate that type of experience on an inexperienced team....you don&#039;t know NOTHIN bout sports.

2. nav - I am a bball fan. But I&#039;m not FANATICAL to have one team. I like multiple teams and just enjoy watching &quot;FUNDAMENTAL&quot; bball. 

3. Not Savvy- If you got something constructive to say...spit it out, so I can chop it down.... Otherwise your name calling means ZERO ....little BOY !!!!  ahahahah]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I guess that means the same about Kyrie Irving according to your logic. Varejao has been barely average for a terrible Cleveland team the last two seasons and even when Lebron was there. 

He wasn&#039;t the last pick in the 2nd round for nothing several years ago. It took him a while to develop in the type of player he&#039;s been this season and has become a really good player. Averaging almost 14 ppg/15rpg nightly isnt just a statsheet stuffer, especially since only Zach Randolph, Love, and Dwight are the only other players averaging numbers close to that. Theres plenty of decent players on bad teams that would kill to have those type of #&#039;s, even it would make them a stuffer]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It wasn&#039;t that long ago when the Cavs signed Varejo to a new contract they were being ridiculed by the national media and ignorant basketball fans of how over paid and awful he was. It&#039;s really a damn shame that it has taken this long for people to realize what a good player he is. I hope the Cavs keep him, but if their dead set on trading him, he deserves to get sent to a championship contender !]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Typical Miami fan...  Stupid!!   Why don&#039;t you also trade Mario Chalmers to the Clippers for CP3 and  Blake Griffin while you&#039;re at it?   Or Tannehill to the Patriots for Brady and Gronkowski?  Or wait... what about Billy the Marlin to the Angels for Pujols and Hamilton????
Get lost!!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Absolutely hilarious.  Sure, trade an all star for four really crappy players. Yeah, Cavs should totally do this.  Or, better yet, they should trade Thompson, Zeller, Gibson and any random bench player for James and wade.  That would give Miami outside shooting and inside presence.  I am sure the heat would take that trade.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wouldn&#039;t it be IRONIC if Varejao re-unites with LBJ and also takes his talents to South Beach....ahahahahah !  O.K. stop laughing and listen to the logic.

The Heat could send any or all of these guys - Mike Miller, James Jones, Udonis Haslem and Shane Battier 

Those guys on the Heat, have all fought the good fight. As much as they are all good guys and they have earned a certain level of respect…BUT they no longer fill the needs of the Heat !!!

Since Bosh plays so SOFT, he is basically a Small Forward. Varejao would seal up the middle, where the Heat are having the most issues. Plus the Heat have enough shooters, they don&#039;t need Miller, Jones or Battier.

The addition of the Veteran shooters (Miller, Battier and Jones) to the Cavs, would add an extra dimension for Irving to depend on. Then Haslem is still serviceable, in the paint. 

That Championship Veteran Presence would help Irving go to the next level and reach his full potential

It&#039;s a Win-Win for both teams. 

EXCEPT...the Cavs owner would rather be tarred and feathered, before he EVER helps LBJ win another ring......AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA]]></description>
