Varejao is an excellent player to have if you only want him for half a season. So if Houston wants a playoff caliber player who is going to guarantee them a lot of rebounds and defense then they know they made a wise move in Varejao. The sticky point is they need to use him wisely so that he does not get injured ... meaning save him for the playoffs and a few games here and there.
Varejao is ideal as a first big man off the bench, who can bring energy, hustle, defense, & rebounding to the game. Playing starter minutes increases his likelihood of sustaining an injury.
I've seen nothing to indicate that Houston has any interest in trading for Varejao. Actually, I've heard they're trying to move up in the draft for Andre Drummond.
