Anderson Varejao is headed back to the Cavaliers, and that’s apparently just fine with him.”I am grateful to the Bobcats for signing me to the deal I wanted,” he said, “but the rules are rules, I was restricted. But I’m happy to be in Cleveland.”

Varejao said he had already talked with Cavs teammates Sasha Pavlovic and Zydrunas Ilgauskas. He said he didn’t think he would need to mend fences with teammates over comments he made last week that he was worth more than some other Cavs players.

“They all know me and they love me. I love them. We have no problems,” he said. “They understand me and the situation, and they know what was going on. I spoke with Sasha and Z. They are happy. They welcomed me back and said, ‘We’ll see you in a couple days.’ ”
