The Jazz have a significant trade chip in Andrei Kirilenko's $17.8 million expiring contract, but they appear unlikely to move it.

Other teams might show interest in Kirilenko's contract, but Utah general manager Kevin O'Connor likes continuity.

"The way Andrei has played for us in the past and the way he played in the preseason, he's a real key to our team," O'Connor said. "He really competes."

Last season the Jazz had the expiring contract of Carlos Boozer, but they opted to hold onto him.
