Hearing trade rumors is something that goes with being a professional athlete.

"It's part of the business," said Nuggets point guard Andre Miller, whose name was bandied about in the offseason by several teams, including the Boston Celtics.

With training camp in full swing, the Nuggets are adamant Miller isn't going anywhere but the head of the line.

"Andre, to me, is our guy," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "He makes us go. When he plays his 'A' game, we're a very tough team to beat. Andre has shown me he's a big-time point guard in this league. Can we do better than that or change it where we can be better, I don't know. But I think Andre can be part of the equation no matter what happens."
