Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor says that the club is negotiating a contract extension with coach Jerry Sloan.

O'Connor is hopeful that an agreement will be reached.

"I'd like to think we can get something done at some point," O'Connor told the Deseret News this week. "But there's no urgency to it."

Sloan, who has signed one-year extensions heading into each of the last two seasons, is coaching the Jazz for the 22nd season.

The Utah Jazz have exercised their option on Kosta Koufos for the 2010-11 season.

Koufos was selected by the Jazz with their first round pick during the 2008 NBA Draft.

The Jazz and Ronnie Brewer will not agree to an extension this season even though an offer was made, according to his agent.

"Kevin (O'Connor, the Jazz's general manager) and I had several conversations about this, including this morning," the Chicago-based Henry Thomas said, "and I think we both just decided to table this until the summer."

Brewer will become a restricted free agent next summer.

Utah Jazz guard/forward Kyle Korver underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, Jazz general manager Kevin O?Connor announced today.

The procedure was performed Wednesday morning in New York City by Dr. David Altcheck, who reported that the surgery went ?extremely well.?

Korver will return to Salt Lake City to begin rehabilitation and will be re-evaluated by Dr. Altcheck in New York City on November 9.

Jazz forward Kyle Korver could miss six weeks of action following surgery to remove a bone spur from his left knee.

Korver will undergo the surgery on Wednesday in New York.

"He's doing all right," Deron Williams told the Salt Lake Tribune. "I know he's definitely frustrated by the situation. He finally gets his wrist healthy [after offseason surgery] and now it's his knee."

Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor is happy with the way forward Carlos Boozer has handled himself so far this fall.

Boozer angled for a trade this offseason, but remains in Utah for the foreseeable future.

"He's been an absolute, total pro -- absolute, total pro," O'Connor told the Salt Lake Tribune. "He's done everything that coach has asked him to do. Just been an absolute, total professional."

O'Connor is glad that Boozer is back with the team and seemingly happy.

"He's made the All-Star team two of the last three years," the general manager said. "That's some of the things that you focus on. Not the negatives, the positives that he brings. He's a veteran that's in the prime of his basketball career and somebody that came back in shape.

"He's healthy and he's been an absolute, total professional, working on the things he has said himself he wants to work on to become more of a complete player. We're thrilled."

Utah Jazz general manager Kevin O?Connor announced today that forward Kyle Korver will undergo surgery on his left knee and will miss the start of the 2009-10 NBA season.  The procedure will be performed on Tuesday, October 27 by Dr. David Altcheck in New York City.

An update will be provided following the surgery.

Utah Jazz general manager Kevin O?Connor announced today that the team has waived forward Ronald Dupree and guard Paul Harris. The Jazz roster now stands at 14.

Dupree (6-7, 209, LSU) has played in 154 regular season NBA games in five seasons with Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota and Seattle. He appeared in seven preseason contests with the Jazz, averaging 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 11.6 minutes a game.

Harris (6-4, 230, Syracuse) went undrafted in the 2009 NBA Draft after three seasons at Syracuse. He suffered a moderate right ankle sprain prior to training camp and did not appear in a preseason game with the Jazz.

The Jazz still haven't heard whether or not forward Matt Harpring will retire.

Harpring, who is set to make $6.5 million this season, is still at home in Atlanta with chronic knee and ankle issues.

"Status quo," Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor told the Deseret News. "Again, my assumption is just wait and see where he's at ? and there comes a point in time when, probably, physically he will have to make a decision."

Jazz guard Ronnie Brewer is hoping to get a contract extension from the team.

"That's not really in my hands right now," Brewer told the Deseret News of a possible contract extension.

The two sides would need to reach an agreement by the end of the month. Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor said earlier this week that he planned to talk with the player's agent.

"If it happens it happens," added Brewer. "I mean, I just feel like it's a great opportunity. I enjoy playing (in Utah). But my focus is on just getting better this year, and helping this team out."
