    Mike Miller indicated on Thursday he can't help is that his name continues to swirl in trade rumors.

    "If a deal comes they can't refuse, I don't expect them not to take it," Miller said. "We understand each other. I told them I'm going to play as hard as I can. I'm going to try to win games. And they've been completely honest with me."

    "I've never had more calls from people checking in and registering interest like they have since we made the trade for Pau," said Chris Wallace. "They think we're in a deal mode. Some teams have an erroneous assumption we're just dropping money."

    "People have interest in our players. So I told these guys we're not trying to dump players. But it's our responsibility as a franchise to look at opportunities. I'll never tell a player he can't be traded. That's just not true. You see Shaquille O'Neal just got traded."

    "I told Mike that we value him. He's been a terrific asset in the community. He's having a great season. No one is looking to dump him for the sake of dumping. But I also told him people are calling, and I can't offer a guarantee (he won't be traded). It would be disingenuous if I did."</div>
