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.
