Kirk Hinrich has once again been linked to the Lakers in trade rumors, as he spends a difficult 10-11 with a rebuilding Washington team.

"It's not a distraction at all," said Hinrich of trade rumors. "I can't control it. Until something actually happens, it's irrelevant. If something happens, it happens. If it doesn't, I'll just keep concentrating on going out there and playing hard and try to do the things they ask me."
