Anderson Varejao won't request a trade from Cleveland Cavaliers, despite being stuck on the bench

DALLAS, Texas – Seldom-used Cleveland Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao told cleveland.com he has not requested a trade and says he will not do so.

"If I go anywhere else and win a championship, it's not going to be the same," he said. "I want to win a championship in Cleveland. That's where I want to stay. I love Cleveland."

The 33-year-old big man has seen a dramatic reduction in his playing time this season. His statistics all across the board are the lowest of his 12-year career. He has not seen action in eight of his last 10 games.
