CJ Miles not paying attention to trade rumours

CJ Miles has insisted that the Indiana Pacers are not paying attention to trade speculation ahead of today's deadline.

Miles has been linked with a trade involving Phoenix Suns guard Goran Dragic, but remains with the team with just over an hour until the deadline.

The swingman told the Indianapolis Star: "People can start rumors, especially now with social media and everything. Stuff can get rolling, you don't know where it comes from. All it takes is a retweet and everybody believes it. It's part of the game."

Miles has scored an average of 12.4 points per game in 43 appearances for the Pacers so far this season.
