According to The Chronicle-Telegram, Zydrunas Ilgauskas has been calling or sending text messages to free agent holdout Anderson Varejao at least every other day.

Ilgauskas insists they never talk about the restricted free agent?s ongoing contract negotiations.

?He?s OK,? Ilgauskas said. ?At some point, he?s going to have to decide one way or another. We hope those guys (Sasha Pavlovic is also holding out) are going to be here, but it?s out of our control.?
