Rodney Hood could be a trade candidate leading to the deadline.

Hood re-signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers on a $3.4 million deal for one season. The Cavaliers were willing to re-sign Hood to a deal worth approximately $20 million over three years.

"I've heard a little bit of what is going on and I'm just invested in what we have going on here," Hood told cleveland.com Tuesday night. "If I get a call then we will handle it then. But until I get a call I'm not going to worry about what's going on outside the circle.

"I think that's where I got into a little trouble last year, my last month or so when I was in Utah, just listening to what was going on rather than staying locked in. So just want to lock in and once I get that call we will see what happens."

Hood just learned that he could veto a trade due to his status on a one-year deal.

"I didn't know that until actually about like three or four days ago when people started talking about it," Hood said.

Hood was traded by the Utah Jazz to the Cavaliers last February.

"I'm happy in Cleveland, man," Hood told cleveland.com. "I like being here. I like the fan base. I like the city, me and my family are settled there. I'm not even looking towards being traded. It's a business and what happens outside of my jurisdiction, with my agent and the front office, that will happen and we will go from there.

"But for right now, just happy playing ball here, being a Cavalier and helping us win."
