Now that Kevin Love is officially a Cleveland Cavalier, it’s open season for his former employer and/or teammates to take shots at him on his way out the door. That’s exactly what Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor has done. Would you expect anything different?
Taylor recently opened up to ESPN 1500 about all things Kevin Love. And wouldn’t you know, he took this opportunity to point out Love’s faults. Funny, though. None of this was said in the years Love was the face of the franchise.
“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 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.
