Norris Cole has been mentioned in trade rumors as he begins his third NBA season.

"I can't control that," Cole said. "The only thing I can do is control what I can control and that's to make sure I'm in the best shape, make sure I'm ready to perform and make sure when I get out there I show what I can do. Anything else, I can't control that so I don't worry my mind about that."

Cole remains comfortable with the Miami Heat where he backs up Mario Chalmers.

"I'm comfortable with the guys, with the coaching staff, with the team," Cole said. "This is all I know. I'm blessed to be in this position."
