LeBron James is expected to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers despite being frustrated over the franchise's lack of direction.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is the only NBA player with a no-trade clause after the Phoenix Suns bought out the contract of Bradley Beal, who has since agreed to a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Trade speculation has been running rampant since right before the start of NBA free agency, when James exercised the $52.6 million option on his contract.
