Rumors have surfaced that Denver is talking with the Blazers about sending injured power forward Nene to Portland in exchange for Travis Outlaw and Joel Przybilla.

But McMillan said he had only a brief conversation with team president Steve Patterson about trades during the All-Star break, and when asked what he thought the Blazers would do before the trading deadline, McMillan was somber.

"Nothing. But you never know," McMillan said. "I think teams know that day is a couple of days away, and all the bluffing and bull that is starting, because you gotta do some stuff now . . . I don't know. You know, I can't even speak to that."
