James, 40, has a no-trade clause in the two-year, $101.4 million contract he signed with the Lakers last summer.

James was out to dinner with family in New York after the Lakers’ win over the Knicks when he found out about the trade.

LeBron James intends to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers past the Feb. 6 trade deadline, according to Chris Haynes. James has a full no-trade clause in his contract and can veto any trade the Lakers present him with.
