LOS ANGELES — Spurs guard Danny Green spent his All-Star break in the not-so-bustling metropolis of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, hiking nature trails, spying on the local wildlife and generally finding a sense of calm amid the madness of the NBA season.

“It’s beautiful out there,” Green said. “I highly suggest it.”

Green appears to have brought that sense of Zen with him back from Wyoming, even with Thursday’s NBA trade deadline looming large.

With the Spurs 45-8, neither Green nor his teammates appear to be sweating what could otherwise be a frenzied day across the league.

“There’s always rumors, obviously. That’s always going to happen,” Green said Wednesday from USC’s Galen Center, where the Spurs were practicing in preparation for Thursday’s game against the L.A. Clippers. “Guys here know, they don’t make many moves or changes. If they do, it’s because there’s something missing. I don’t think we have much missing.”

League consensus agrees

The general consensus around the league seems to agree with Green. Most observers expect Spurs general manager R.C. Buford to pass on Thursday’s wheeling and dealing.

The Spurs last made a deadline-day deal in 2014, when they traded Nando De Colo to Toronto for Austin Daye in a swap of end-of-the-bench parts.

Their last in-season trade that could qualify as “major” came in 2012, when the Spurs sent Richard Jefferson — still their starting small forward at the time — to Golden State for Stephen Jackson.

Excused absences

Coach Gregg Popovich, assistant James Borrego, and forwards Tim Duncan and David West did not make Wednesday’s practice in L.A., remaining behind to attend the funeral of Ingrid Williams in Oklahoma City.

Buford also was expected to attend.

Williams, the wife of OKC assistant coach Monty Williams, died in a car accident last week.

Duncan is a former teammate of Williams, who played for Popovich. Borrego was on Williams’ staff as an assistant in New Orleans, where West played for Williams.

They are expected to join the team in time for tipoff at Staples Center.

Marks to stay?

Spurs assistant general manager Sean Marks has not yet decided whether to accept a reported offer to become Brooklyn’s general manager, but appears to be leaning toward staying in San Antonio, league sources said Wednesday.

Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov declined to comment directly on Marks’ candidacy during a news conference in New York, at one point joking, “I have never heard this name before.”

They said it

“That’s almost the best thing about the break. You can get away from it, so when you come back you’re energized and ready to go.” — Guard Patty Mills, on the Spurs’ energy coming out of the All-Star break.
