As great as Varejao has been, they're not going to get an elite prospect with All-Star potential for him. The kind of team that wants Varejao is a team on the verge of being a contender (e.g. the Celtics).
Teams like that don't tend to have elite prospects to give up.
One interesting possibility:
OKC trade Perkins + Jeremy Lamb + Toronto 1st Round Pick for Varejao.
The Thunder would be absurd with Varejao playing next to Serge in the frontcourt.
Yeah this is pretty scary. TP.
This looks like an unusually sensible NBA trade to me. Could be Jones if not Lamb, or both. And they might even
want to get rid of that pick in a weak draft considering the cap number against it for 2013+. CLE would also be an excellent landing spot for Perk if he's traded.
The only issue -- I think OKC needs to shed some $$$ (thus the talk of a Perk amnesty and the Harden trade). Could be that they need to ask CLE to take back something else to assure they can keep Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka and Sideshow together long term. So they might even desire than both Lamb and Jones go to CLE in the deal....
