Heat, Kings, Suns Expecting Quiet Deadline

As trade rumors continue to surface around the league, a number of clubs are saying they don't expect to be active today. Here are a few quotes from teams who don't anticipate any moves, but are leaving the door open just in case:

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra to Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald:

"I am on the phone with Pat [Riley], but our focus is on this group. We feel we have enough. Andy [Elisburg] and Pat and Nick [Arison] will always look for opportunities to make our team better, but we made a big splash two summers ago."

Kings president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie to Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee:

"If we [make a move], it's more than likely to be something on the periphery of things. It's really unlikely there's some huge deal out there."

Suns president of basketball operations Lon Babby to Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic:

"As of now, there is nothing that appeals to us. It's possible that something would coalesce, but I wouldn't expect it to…. I don't anticipate that we will have anything, but we will keep talking to the last possible minute."
