"It takes a lot of sacrifice" - Steve Nash praises LeBron James for making it work with Luka Doncic originally appeared on Basketball Network.

Despite considerable speculation about a LeBron trade, the reality is that he never asked for a trade and he has a no-trade clause.

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.

Amid serious speculation about LeBron James' future in Los Angeles, there is now an update about what's coming next.

ESPN's Shams Charania broke the news Wednesday that Beal would be bought out by the Phoenix Suns and sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Clippers. The Lakers may not have ever been the front-runners for Beal. Milwaukee and Golden State were also reported as possible destinations.
