Cavaliers: LeBron James’ ways of being a leader not registering with Lakers

LeBron James made the move to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers this past summer for the Los Angeles Lakers, signing a four-year deal in the process. It was a move that most saw coming and was prepared for.

Despite the long-term contract and James claiming he’s ready to continue his excellence on the basketball court with the Lakers, not everyone is on board.

Why is that?

When James was a member of the Wine and Gold, he had the chance to call a lot of the shots. While David Griffin served as the general manager for three of the four seasons, James had a say in what moves he’d like to be made to help the franchise reach the ultimate goal of winning an NBA Championship.
