There is a growing perception that Andrei Kirilenko wants to be traded or believes he will be dealt.

"I said, 'There is always possibility to be traded,"' said Kirilenko, who admittedly has struggled this season and who is Utah's highest-paid player. "That's my point. I don't want to be traded, and I don't want to move to another team. It's not like I want to be traded.
     
"But," added Kirilenko, who turns 26 four days before the NBA's Feb. 22 NBA trade deadline, "there always is possibility for the player who has huge contract and (is) not playing on the highest note. ... That's the point: Nobody in NBA secure, like 100 percent. Everybody can be traded, everybody can be moved. So I am ready for any kind of turn in my career."
