Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor didn’t exactly take the Dan Gilbert route of trashing a superstar player who forced his way out of town, but he wasn’t exactly all that nice about it, either.
Following the trade of Kevin Love to the Cavaliers, Taylor attempted to take some parting shots at Love, which only served to reveal the level of bitterness he has regarding the way things played out.
“I question Kevin if this is going to be the best deal for him because I think he’s going to be the third player on a team. I don’t think he’s going to get a lot of credit if they do really well. I think he’ll get the blame if they don’t do well. He’s going to have to learn to handle that.
“I think he’s around a couple guys that are awful good. Now I’m not saying that Kevin’s not good, but I think where maybe he got away with some stuff, not playing defense on our team, I’m not sure how that’s going to work in Cleveland. So I would guess they’re going to ask him to play more defense. And he’s foul-prone,” Taylor said.
"The only thing that I still have a question mark about will be his health. I had that concern then, I still have that concern and I think Cleveland should have that concern, too,” Taylor said. “If they sign him to a five-year contract like they’re thinking about, I mean that’s a big contract in a guy that’s had sometimes where he’s missed games.”
