Anderson Varejao declining ring shows Warriors’ drive

The Golden State Warriors have officially re-signed center Anderson Varejao and it should come as no surprise, with the Warriors needing to add more depth up front and Varejao fitting in with the team so well.

However, Varejao is apparently making a strong decision and rejecting a championship ring from the Cavaliers, according to Sam Amico.

Varejao eligible to receive a championship ring from time with #Cavs, but told he has no plans to accept after finishing with #Warriors.

While it shouldn’t be much of a surprise since he didn’t win it with the Warriors, Varejao until late in the season was always thought of as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers and it wouldn’t have been surprising to see him accept one for his years of contributions to their organization.
