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?
It is who he is, Rich Paul is currently too big for an agent to care tbh. He is representing all timers, in the league and the media, he is dating an all timer. He isn't going to be touched. He is one of those who wants attention for himself and see it as a good marketing strategy, this will attract some clients and be a deal breaker for some others.
Also, many agents work under him now, many are Klutch agents rather than directly Paul's one.
