SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 Sports) - There was plenty of speculation, but in the end, the Utah Jazz did not make a move.

The NBA trade deadline has come and gone and the Jazz did not make a deal.

Both Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson were thought to be available for trades, but the Jazz apparently did not receive an enticing enough offer, and will finish the season with their current lineup.

Millsap, Jefferson and Mo Williams will all be unrestricted free agents at the end of the year, but the Jazz decided to see how they could climb in the Western Conference standings as the roster stands now.

Utah has won three straight games and are a season-high seven games over .500 at 31-24. They are currently the 7th seed in the Western Conference playoff race as they get ready to take on the Clippers in Los Angeles Saturday night.
