Personal tragedy has struck the Cavaliers on the first day of full-team workouts. F/C Anderson Varejao was excused from the team due to the death of his grandfather. He returned to his native Brazil and it is unknown how long he will be gone.

The Cavaliers released a statement about Varejao -

Cavaliers forward/center Anderson Varejao has been excused from practice in order to return to Brazil due to the death of his grandfather. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Andy and his family during this difficult time.

Those of us here at FearTheSword would like to echo those remarks.

FTS is so dead.

It really is sad.

It’s still the off-season. It’s was like this last year too. Obviously we lost the front-runners months ago, but I never really liked having them around anyhow.

I’m certain it’ll pick up around here come the regular season. I’m eager to watch this team grow and adapt.

Melo

Is going to show patience. He has a certain team or couple of teams he wants to go to so he’s not going to agree to a trade that forces him to sign an extension somewhere. My guess he plays for Denver this year before bolting.
