From what I have heard, Varejo is going to resign with the cavs (Ferry will match any offer b/c he loves varejo). Darko can play center next to gasol and while they don't particularly suit a run and gun style offense Darko is only 21 and showed some decent improvement when he got some starting minutes last year. Actually if you look at darko to varejo stats straight up Darko almost looks like a better deal. I don't want to pay him 10 mill, but I don't think he will command that kind of money either.
