Exactly, Chris Anderson is the Ben Wallace to AV's sheed defensively, they do 2 completely different things on that end the court.
You can't name many post defenders in the entire league better than AV.

Really? That's an honest question, and since I don't want to rack my brain I'll just concede the point.

With the cap possibly dropping to $50M next season, why would the Cavs give Varejao that deal?
. NoBosh, Amare, etc. for Cleveland.

In my opinion, and my opinion is usually wrong, Andersen is more of a great help-defender, and he's decent in the post when matched up with someone he candominate athletically.
AV is a more gritty, floppy, kind of defender

Um... Anderson Varejao is a VERY good post defender... Unfortunately, it's really all he does well...

It's just, the statement of "there's not many better post defenders better" is pretty strong.

Anderson Varejao and Marcin Gortat - the Erick Dampier and Adonle Foyle of 2009.

Yeah and Dirk made the entire Denver front-line look like a bunch of soft bunnies.
Very soft bunnies.
Made of the finest furs on earth.
There's always bad match-ups.
But there aren't many great, dominant big men in the league right now. You can count them on one hand.

Wait....
After a series of trades fell through this week, the Trail Blazers have settled on their next target: Utah power forward Paul Millsap.
Although Millsap is a restricted free agent, meaning the Jazz can match any offer, the Blazers are preparing what one source called a "toxic" offer designed to exterminate interest from other teams.
Millsap, 24, is a bruising and active player who excels at rebounding. Despite being only 6-foot-8, Millsap last season used his 250-pound frame to average 13.5 points and 8.6 rebounds in 30.1 minutes per game. His 3.3 offensive rebounds per game ranked fourth in the NBA and his 251 offensive rebounds ranked sixth.
Nobody is talking about Millsap to Portland?What the hell is Pritcharddoing? He's expecting to give Millsap an offer that will make other teams back off? Isn't he going to be playing off the bench? They must be planningon trading Aldridge away.
@ Varejao's contract. He has the same agent as Rubio. At least hegot something right with Varejao.

Verejao is not worth that much cap space, especially seeing how much it'll drop next year.
Shaq and Verejao might keep Cleveland afloat this year - maybe in the title hunt - but how will it look next year?

Gortat has more potential and is a better shot blocker. I think Gortat will turn into a solid starter though.

Don't get me wrong the contract is ridiculous but Anderson defensive value should not be overlooked.

Varejao is a good post defender, but 5yrs/60 mil just isn't right. I don't care what you say. They tremendously overpaid to keep him and there's noway around it. But, then again I look at Dampier getting 7yrs/73mil back in the day and its not that bad.... Well, yes it is.
In year 3 of that contract, people will be looking at that contract like this...
Just like people were viewing Big Ben and Dampier's contract in the later years.
