    Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor says the team isn't looking to deal versatile forward Andrei Kirilenko.

    "I think the key thing is, Andrei's got to play this year. He's got to worry about his contract mentally. And we all understand that, and that's part of it," O'Connor said in an interview with the Salt Lake Tribune.

    "If he plays well, it helps us, it helps him. We don't talk to Andrei about his contract. But Andrei's a key for us. And he's a big key. I think we went 20-4 at one point last season when he was playing very well. And he's been hurt the last two years. He's a key. We expect Andrei to have a big season for us. ... He's on our team. If we can improve our team — and I've said this from day one — if we can improve our team, we'll look at doing that. But we're not looking to make any moves."
