Wizards' Bradley Beal on Trade Rumors: It's 'Flattering' but Also 'Bummed by It'

Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal wasn't fazed for the most part when he was mentioned as a potential target for teams looking to add a big name ahead of the Feb. 7 NBA trade deadline.

In an interview with HoopsHype's Alex Kennedy, Beal said the trade speculation was actually a positive in some ways:
