Chris Mihm has heard all the trade rumors involving him leaving the Lakers, but he hopes they are false.

"I'm happy here," Mihm said. "I've been through a lot in the last five years (with the Lakers), and I feel like we're on the track to something special here. It's something I want to be a part of. I'm nine years in (the league); I want to win a title.

"This team has come a long way in the five years I've been here, and this is something I've worked for my whole career. I know the role I have to play here, and right now it's being a veteran presence on this team, helping the other guys out."
