Lakers owner Jeanie Buss has reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with LeBron James, criticizing his perceived “outsized ego” and lack of accountability, particularly regarding the unsuccessful Russell Westbrook trade. Buss felt that James overshadowed the team’s executives in his role in revitalizing the franchise, and their relationship soured further after the 2021-22 season flop. Despite considering trading James and feeling slighted by his lack of gratitude for drafting his son, Buss extended his contract to avoid negative publicity. As James potentially enters his final season, the Lakers hold a 26-16 record, currently sitting fifth in the Western Conference.
