But the third-year center insisted he cares not at all about the promotion. "It doesn't matter when I play. Whatever the coaches feel is best for the team, that's what I'm most interested in doing," Collins said. "I'm just glad to be back and contributing again." Collins replaced fellow Stanford alum Curtis Borchardt, who had started the previous 15 games for the Jazz, a span in which they went 4-11. Borchardt's production increased while he was a starter, with his points rising to 3.9 per game, from 2.3, and rebounds to 3.8, from 2.6. Collins averaged 4.9 points as the Jazz's starter, with 3.1 rebounds. Trade 'buzz' With the Feb. 24 trade deadline approaching, there's "a lot of buzz" around the league, according to Kevin O'Connor, "a little more than usual." The Jazz are included in the buzz, with O'Connor, the team's senior vice president of basketball operations, having heard offers for several of his players, he said. "When you're losing games, teams start calling you," O'Connor said, because they figure you're more willing to move players. The Jazz also have three extra first-round draft picks stored up, plus room under the salary cap, so they have assets to trade. That doesn't mean, O'Connor cautioned, that a trade is likely. "We're listening," he said.</div> Source
