The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired veteran sharpshooter Channing Frye during the 2016 trade deadline in a three-team deal that sent Anderson Varejao and a conventional first round pick to the Portland Trial Blazers, and Jared Cunningham to the Orlando Magic, according to then-Yahoo! Sports Marc Spears.
When the trade was announced, it was tough for Cavaliers fans to digest that Varejao, who played his entire career in Cleveland and became a fan-favorite due to his hustle and tenacity on the boards, would no longer be suiting up with the Cavaliers.
