Part 3/6:
Criticism is directed towards LeBron as it is argued that his absence represents a significant setback for the Lakers. The discourse suggests that he has taken advantage of the franchise, given the numerous concessions made to accommodate him. Allegations arise that he has manipulated the organization to place his friend JJ Redick as coach and to facilitate his son's entry into the team roster.
Critics argue that the current state of the Lakers better reflects the team’s performance before LeBron's arrival, with years of disarray resulting in poorly performing seasons. The franchise had seen years of subpar wins leading up to his signing but now remains in a state of flux, compounded by LeBron's current unavailability.
