Chauncey Billups has tuned out trade rumors involving teammate Carmelo Anthony that have recently included his name as well.

Billups brushed off the speculation after practice Saturday, insisting that he places his focus on the court.

"My grandma taught me that a long, long time ago," Billups said. "I can't control it, I control this (basketball) the best I can. I kind of worry about that. It (speculation) really has no bearing on what I do out here."

Rumors have surfaced that Billups could be involved in a three-team trade that would send Anthony to the Nets, with the Pistons involved as a third team.

Billups, a native of Denver and alum of Colorado, has been clear that he wants to remain with the Nuggets.

"I've been very clear about that," Billups said. "I also know this is professional sports and this is a business. I hope that I'm here. Everybody knows that. If I'm not, I'm going to do the best I can with whatever happens."
