Utah forward Carlos Boozer says that rumors involving him and the Miami Heat are just talk, according to The Deseret News.

Next season Boozer can opt out of the final year of his current contract with the Jazz and negotiate a potential six-year deal worth an estimated to $136 million.

Boozer responded teasingly to talk about the Heat, "I live in Miami ? I'm going there no matter what I do; that's home for me. That's just talk ? I've been talked about in rumors my whole career."

On Monday the Jazz can start negotiations with point guard Deron Williams on a contract extension, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

From July 1 to Oct. 31, Utah has an exclusive window to negotiate an extension of Deron's rookie contract. Williams could sign for as long as five years and as much as approximately $90 million.

"I talked to Kevin about that the other day, and he definitely knows it's a high priority to get it done as soon as possible, as soon as we can," Williams said. "I'm just going to leave that in his hands and my agent's hands and, hopefully, everything works out."

The Jazz exercised the team option on forward Paul Millsap and made a qualifying offer to guard C.J. Miles on Saturday, according to an Associated Press report.

The Utah Jazz plan to extend the contract of point guard Deron Williams next month, according to The Deseret News.

The extension is expected to be close to the league maximum.

The Jazz have the 23rd pick in this week's NBA Draft and got a second look at Georgetown center Roy Hibbert on Sunday morning, according to The Deseret News.

Many people believe Utah will select a big man, with Hibbert near the top of the list, but Player Personnel Vice President Walt Perrin insists otherwise.

"You know what? We'll let them have that perception," Perrin said Saturday.

The team has also worked out Utah State shooting guard Jaycee Carroll.

Utah's Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer are both expected to be named to Team USA when the official roster is revealed on Monday, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

Manager/Director Jerry Colangelo all but confirmed that the pair would make the team but wouldn't admit anything.

"They are two highly thought-of candidates to be on the team," Colangelo said. "We've said that all along, but we're not pre-announcing anything."

Jazz owner Larry Miller has been hospitalized with health complications stemming from diabetes, according to The Associated Press.

Doctors expect Miller to make a full recovery, but as of Monday, there was no timetable for his release from the hospital.

Team spokeswoman Linda Luchetti says she spoke to Miller on the phone and "he's not skipped a beat."

Assistant Coach Tyrone Corbin has decided to remain with the Jazz after interviewing for three vacant head coaching positions, according to The Deseret News.

He will be entering his fifth season on Jerry Sloan's staff and interviewed for jobs in Chicago, Phoenix, and Detroit.

"I was close," said Corbin, who was one of three finalists for the Suns' job. "But the edge that I was told that Terry Porter had on me was he had been a head coach before," the ex-Jazz forward and 16-year NBA veteran added. "There's nothing I can do about that until I get the head-coaching experience."

Pistons' guard Chauncey Billups may be the odd guard out when it comes time to finalizing the US Olympic squad, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News is reporting.

With Carmelo Anthony's spot already confirmed, Dwyane Wade providing Jerry Colangelo with a private workout which left Colangelo impressed, and Jason Kidd expected to be team's starting point guard, it is believed that Billups will fight with Chris Paul and Deron Williams for a place on the team.

"I haven't seen Chauncey lately," Colangelo told the Rocky Mountain News. "He's one of the players we're considering."

If Wade is on the team, then it's not likely Colangelo will keep three point guards.

Jazz forward Matt Harpring underwent surgery on Thursday to remove two bone spurs from his right ankle, the Associated Press is reporting.
