The Warriors reached an agreement with Varejao after he
cleared waivers and the 6-foot-10 center will replace Jason
Thompson, who was waived by Golden State to clear a roster spot.
The 33-year-old Varejao was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers
by the Cleveland Cavaliers last Thursday and then was waived by
Portland, making him eligible to sign with any team but the
Cavaliers.
The Warriors currently need help at center. Starter Andrew Bogut
has been troubled by a sore Achilles and his back-up Festus
Ezeli, who underwent knee surgery earlier this month, is not
expected back until later next month.
