All quiet on the Jazz trade front

The NBA's trading deadline is at 1 p.m. MST today.

Most swap ideas heat up as the deadline approaches, but as of Wednesday, some Utah Jazz players and coach Jerry Sloan didn't seem to have any inkling of anything going on.

Of course, that's when something usually does happen.

General manager Kevin O'Connor gave his normal "no comment" about whether anything was in the works.

"That's who we are," Sloan said of his young team before Wednesday's practice that followed Utah's 119-109 Tuesday night win over Golden State, giving Utah a sweep of the season series against the team the Jazz eliminated in the second round of the playoffs last season.

"We made one change during the year (a trade for Kyle Korver on Dec. 29), and that's it. I don't know of anything that's going on in that department right now, so we just have to play as well as we can with who we are," Sloan said.

Point guard Deron Williams wasn't expecting anything, either.

"I didn't see us making a move anyway," he said. "We already made our move (Korver). We're like 21-3 (actually 19-3) since. Pretty good move."

"I guess we did our Shaq trade. We did our Jason Kidd/Shaq trade," said forward Matt Harpring, referencing recent deals that brought Shaquille O'Neal to Phoenix and Kidd to Dallas.

"I don't know. I haven't really heard anything," he said about any possible late Jazz activity. "All quiet on the Western Front?

"I guess if you're in the playoff hunt, you're always looking to improve your team if you can. I'm sure there's feelers out there. I have no idea."

OLD AGE: Harpring, who is Utah's only player as old as 30, took some ribbing from Williams about it. Neither had realized he was the only one until a reporter mentioned it.

"Elder statesman. That's what I like to be referred as," Harpring said.

"It's fine. I was just telling them yesterday I was remembering when I was a rookie. It just goes so fast that it's amazing it's my 10th year."

BOOZER SITS OUT: Power forward Carlos Boozer, who had 16 points and a dozen rebounds Tuesday night but put a hot pack on his lower back when he wasn't playing, sat out Wednesday's practice with a sore low back.

A Jazz spokesman said he was told the back problems have "built up," and that Boozer is considered day-to-day. He underwent treatment in lieu of practicing.
