He is not dealing with public, he is dealing with FOs. By saying it publicly, every team and player hears it, which might lead to some conflicts. As this latest example - Luka and Reaves could very easily conclude that what Rich Paul is saying is actually LeBrons words, that he can't say publicly himself. So why would LeBron choose to discuss this team issues publicly instead of doing it behind close doors?
Putting all your life and business and negotiations out in the open on social media seems to be the way US society is trending. (I don't have FB, Twitter, or IG)
The other super agents like Jeff Scwartz and Bill Duffy are probably in their 60s. That generation had a different way of doing things.
