Recently, Parsons talked about James on the "Run It Back" program. He said that James' absence from the early season games will be beneficial to the Lakers.

He said: "I think there is no need for the Lakers to panic at the moment. As you said, he only missed a few games and is expected to return in mid-November. And to be honest, this may be a blessing in disguise - it will give Luka time to adapt to the rhythm and continue to Continue to cultivate the chemical reaction with his teammates. After all, this aspect still needs to be polished, and it may not get better until the end of November."

"Even if his absence extends into November, I still think this will give Luka more time to integrate into the team's offensive system. Getting a firm footing can also allow players like Austin Reeves to get into game shape as early as possible. As for LeBron, at this point in his career, it's clear that he'll still have an important role to play, but it may not be the one we're used to. So, I think the core of the team is gradually changing. They just renewed Luka's contract, and it's clear that this team will be centered on him in the future. So for Luka, who has just joined the team and is still trying to develop a chemical reaction, it is a good thing to get into the state as soon as possible. "
