According to Ken Berger of CBS Sports, "sources say numerous teams have inquired about [Anderson] Varejao, but the Cavs won't even entertain such talks unless they're getting a superstar in return."
In particular, Berger reports he's on Denver's list of veteran players it'd like in a trade for Carmelo Anthony, but that Melo has no interest in signing an extension in Cleveland.
Denver's frontcourt has been slowed by injuries heading into the season, and Varejao could provide a reliable and capable starter if need be, or some high energy off the bench.
But if the team won't get a star in return, it looks like they'll be holding onto him for now.
Yet, don't entirely rule it out in the future. It's been speculated that if Cleveland is struggling at the trade deadline this season, Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison could be on the block.
If the team is able to package one of them with Varejao for a star, it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibly they could indeed include him in such a deal if it makes sense.
