Clearly, Mitchell disagrees with Cunningham's blunt assessment of the city he's spent the past three years calling home. Cunningham's comments come on the heels of the league's announcement that it would be expanding into three new cities—Philadelphia, Detroit and Cleveland–in the coming years.

Mitchell clapped back with a post on X, praising Cleveland's summers. Almost from the moment Mitchell came to Cleveland, people thought he'd eventually leave and join the Knicks. Instead, he signed an extension with the Cavs and has embraced the city.

The Indiana Fever guard said she wished the WNBA "listened to players" on where the league should expand to, and offered her own suggestions.
