Probably means bonner is done for the year.

[Darius Bieber]

Those teams are just put into the discussion to up his value. Every free agent says that. Nothing to see here.

[ceperez]

Warriors however just have Bogut and Spreights. Ezeli good be gone for the season. Bogut is injury prone. Warriors are down to one center who may not just be big enough against the Spurs or the Thunder.

This explains the Thunder's interest despite having Adams, Kanter and Collison.

Also explains why the Spurs want him despite being loaded in the front court.

Absolutely critical that GSW don't get there hands on another center.

[Spurs9]

Plz no, 4000 post tbh

[gambit1990]

never been a varejao fan but... he could probably fit in with the spurs with his style of play.

[BatManu20]

I think Varejao winds up in Golden St or OKC.

Yea, the Cavs don't even play him; I can't see the Spurs having much use for him. He'd only be an insurance policy for LMA getting injured at most.

[Hoops Czar]

Anderson Varejao is a luxury, not a necessity. Besides, they already have a garbage time big named Boban. However, if the Spurs cared about priorities, they would be in the market for a backup pg and/or sf though.

[100%duncan]

NO NO AND NO

[Brian Windhorst]

I'm trying to imagine a situation other than a season ending injury where he would be remotely useful.

[TheGreatYacht]

Diaw showed glimpses of 2.0 last night, but if it was nothing more than a fluke... I wouldn't mind a combo of Varejao/West coming off the bench

[cd98]

If he can't get minutes on the Cavs, then what does he bring to the Spurs?

[BD24]

I like him as a player, but he doesn't make sense for the Spurs. We are already set as far as bigs go. Unless we could get a great rim protector off the bench, which at this point he is not.

What we really need is a good 2 or 3 to come off the bench.

[Seventyniner]

He definitely brings more to the table than Bonner. But Boban would never play again.

[elemento]

Personally I would love to have Varejao for the min

Timmy has been hurt a lot lately, Boban barely plays and I hate those small-ball lineups, especially the one with Diaw/West (atrocious defensively).

Varejao could fill Splitter's void just fine and he is actually better than Splitter. Good defender, good passer and a much better rebounder.

I fail to see the downside of bringing a vet like him for min. I'd kick Bonner's useless ass in a minute in order to bring Andy.

What's your gut feeling man? If the Spurs really are interested, do you think he likes them enough to come on board?

[ceperez]

I guess if the Spurs miss a Splitter like player, then maybe Verajao is the guy.

[ElNono]

no thanks, he's more injured than Splitter and Manu combined...

[cutewizard]

promote bonner and butler to the front office then GET VAREJAO AND RAY ALLEN!!!!

[cutewizard]

ray allen rules hahahahahahahaha

[cutewizard]

I always liked varejao

[Budkin]

Fuck that shit... we need PG help.

[ceperez]

Fuck that shit... we need PG help.

We need a bigger point guard that can hit 3's.

[cutewizard]

Varejao at center, west and simmons at forward, manu and mills >>>>>>> THATS A STARTING LINE-UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cutewizard]

ahhhhhhhhhhh big point guard

[cutewizard]

I actually asked help from Galadriel and Radagast, two super wizards, for a spell so that WE CAN GET JOHN WALL.....couldn't contact them, perhaps they are busy

[cutewizard]

busy???? fighting the reptilians and the illuminati???? hahahahahahahaha

[cutewizard]

Diaw at center, LaMarcus and Leonard at super forwards, Green and John Wall at guards >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[cutewizard]

LOL

[cutewizard]

fill in the blanks.....................THE DAY JOHN WALL ARRIVES AT THE SPURS, is the day ___________________________________............... ....................

I do.

Varejao has never been a me-first guy. He is the ultimate teamplayer. He knows that SA values what he brings to the table and at this point of his career and considering that he got paid already, it's all about getting a ring for him. For the min, why not? Even considering his healthy issues, it's worth the risk IMO.

To me, it's a race between SA and GS.

GS just lost Ezeli for about 6 weeks and Bogut has never been an ironman. Plus, they have Barbosa there and the championship appeal. SA may look stacked at first glance, but they're not at the 5. When Duncan went down, our front-court rotation looked atrocious defensively with those small-ball lineups and Pop doesn't trust Boban yet.

If SA fans really miss what Splitter brought to the table during all those years, you can't find a more similar guy than Varejao. And to me, Varejao is better. He can hit a mid-range and he is a much better rebounder.

I would be very happy if SA gets him for the min.

Bogut has an achilles injury/strain..i think Dubs will get him..

[r0drig0lac]

Deandre going to 20/20

Cosign!!

[MoSpur]

I don't see the point in signing Varejao

completely agree. Only reason why I want him

[dbestpro]

Varejao would be the first center off the bench against opposite true centers. We have been getting killed trying to cover centers with PFs. It would cause Pop to make choices on matchups regarding Diaw and West, and would allow us to match up against any design.

[benfti]

Yeah, I like it, bring him in

[benfti]

In all seriousness, he is a quality veteran big who won't complain about sitting at the end of the bench and will fit the locker room like a glove.

[Budkin]

Sounds like the Dubs are signing him.

[MoSpur]

Read he has narrowed his choice down to the Warriors and the Spurs. I'd rather Golden State get him

[HarlemHeat37]

He has looked horrendous, this season, tbh..

[gambit1990]

can't remember the last time i saw him play... but if he still can... the more i think about signing him the more i'm inclined to the idea. who else is out there? he's gotta be a better pick up than hickson. although he has seemed injury prone to me.

He's hasn't played more than 31 games in a season but once since 2009-10. :lol He's only 33 but he plays like he's 39.

Dubs got him officially.

ESPN sources say Anderson Varejao has indeed finalized his expected deal with Golden State at the veteran minimum for the rest of the season

[ViceCity86]

Warriors getting Varejao might mean Ezeli might be done for the year,and that's good news.Spurs need all the help they can get.Now just wait for Boguts annual injury.

[BatManu20]

Just another reason to root against that team tbh.

Sigh. Was hoping Warriors would be hobbled without a center. My concern is how badly Aldridge played against a scrub like Alex Len.

Who will miss more games for the rest of the season, Bogut or Varejao?

Varejao,history say's so.

[baseline bum]

He was never going to sign here, the Spurs only interest was in keeping him out of Golden State.

[daledondale]

Just another reason to root against that team tbh.

[james evans]

Great, the warriors get another flopper

[ace3g]

He will be in uniform tonight vs Hawks on NBATV
