“I am thrilled and honored once again to be a formal part of the Cavaliers family,” Varejao said in a release from the team announcing the hire. “This is a unique opportunity to start a new chapter of my life with the team I love and in the city I love.

Paul George came close to joining LeBron James in Cleveland

For a brief period, the teams thought they’d agreed on terms. The Nuggets would’ve received Love, the Pacers would’ve gotten prospect players including Gary Harris as well as multiple picks and the Cavs would’ve gotten George. A conference call was set up to finalize the terms, and George and James were potentially minutes away from being teammates, team sources said. But for various reasons, the deal fell apart when it came to getting final ownership approvals, which isn’t unusual on multiteam complex trades. A few days later, George was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Domantas Sabonis and Victor Oladipo. James never extended his contract, and several weeks later, Irving asked for a trade out of Cleveland.
