08:08 AM ET 01.11 | Anderson Varejao hasn't taken more than eight shots in a game in 2012, but he's certainly being noticed. Healthy again and attacking the boards and defensive end with his familiar gusto, Varejao could attract significant interest as the March 15 trade deadline approaches. The Cavaliers aren't believed to be shopping the fan favorite, but contenders looking for an energetic big man will no doubt call the rebuilding franchise with offers. Varejao and backup point guard Ramon Sessions figure to generate the most attention. Coach Byron Scott asked specifically about the center Tuesday said he wouldn't be in favor of trading him. "It would have to be an unbelievable person to get back," Scott said.

It will be tough to trade him for how much money he makes. He should go to Miami since Lebron got him that big pay day...lol

Cabron would love sideshow Bob with him but his contract is almost as large as his hairdoo.

Andy is definitely loved here in Ohio. He's not a prolific scorer, but he does everything else very well and with high energy and motivation. And Gilbert doesn't need a cap relief, because it's a last year for Jamison in Cleveland and Baron Davis was amnestied, so there is very little motivation to trade AV, unless some uber-player traded in return. I don't see such trade happening, and AV is not overpaid, he is paid on-par for what he does.

No no no, Andy is a key piece to the formation and development of The Cavs Dynasty. Unless of course the Magic want to give up Dwight.

or trade Andy for Howard and some pics, then trade howard for more pics

Woke up to the news of Miami losing which made me very happy. Maybe Gilbert was right in saying that Cavs will win a championship before Lebron doesn...

Well if someone contender is willing to give him a first rounder he'd be dumb to not do it...

And so it begins...

He's a Good Center... Cleveland would be wise about making moves on him...

January 11, 2012  09:50 AM ET

Who cares if they trade him or not. I would trade him since they are not winning anything any time soon and build for the future.

Howard will never come to Cleveland. No stars will, they will have to get lucky and draft one and hope he stays.
