Zach LaVine is playing pretty good basketball for the Chicago Bulls right now. That's come as trade speculation swirls around the veteran guard. LaVine has continued his strong play by blocking out all the trade noise.

"I'm not the one controlling that. That's what has been so good about my mindset. I can control what my mood is and my mindset going into each game. Outside of that, it's out of my control," LaVine said.

Before his Bulls played at the Boston Celtics on Thursday, LaVine said he appreciates that teams reportedly have interest in trading for him. But he reiterated that he's focused on playing well for Chicago.

"I signed a lengthy contract here for a reason. I wanted to stay here," LaVine said. "But it's always good to know you have interest because that means you're a player other people want to play with. I'm just thankful the position I'm at today getting ready for defending NBA champs"
