However, it is the Cleveland Cavaliers who ended up signing Mitchell recently. This has led to massive outrage among the Knicks fanbase and the basketball world.

Eminent analyst and a known hater of Stephen Curry, Rob Parker recently bashed the Knicks. He said, “It’s always a day late, and a dollar short for the Knicks, and that’s been their history.”

Moreover, a user on Twitter commented under a post talking about Parker’s words and the analyst happened to retweet the comment! The user wrote, “That owner for the Knicks is a major reason for them not winning. The way he allowed Charles Oakley, and Patrick Ewing to be treated, is shameful.

Rob Parker is mostly known for his scathing attacks on Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry. He once famously asserted that Curry would not be held in such high regard if it wasn’t for Kevin Durant.
