Carlos Boozer says he's a little surprised to still be a member of the Utah Jazz.

Boozer says he expected to be traded over the summer, but a deal never happened and the two-time All-Star is back for a sixth season in Utah.

Boozer added to the speculation by saying in interviews with media in Chicago and Miami how he would like to play for the Bulls and Heat.

Boozer said Friday that he was only answering the questions he was asked during the interview, but acknowledges he may have said too much.

Boozer met with coach Jerry Sloan on Friday and both say they are happy he's still with Utah.

Boozer opted in June to play out the final year of his contract for $12.7 million, putting the Jazz well over the luxury tax.
