Jazz make trade for Henderson

The Utah Jazz made only one minor deal before Thursday's NBA trade deadline, acquiring veteran big man Alan Henderson, the right to swap second-round draft picks and cash considerations from Philadelphia.

The move, however, is not expected to impact the Jazz's current 14-man roster. That is because Utah is expected to waive Henderson, who has played 34 games and averaged 3.5 points in a mostly reserve role for the Sixers this season.

The trade is designed such that the Jazz will wind up with a better second-round selection in next June's NBA Draft. Based on current records, Philadelphia's will be the higher of the two.

Jazz basketball operations senior vice president Kevin O'Connor said he was not tempted enough to pull the trigger on any other deals.

"I felt like if we could have improved our team we would have tried to," O'Connor said. "But we didn't think we could."

The Jazz are idle until playing Friday night at Denver.
