Reminder: this is the same guy who thought Love wasn't worth a five-year contract back in 2011.
Reminder: this is the same guy who called out KG post-trade for "tanking" his last season as a Timberwolf.

Glen Taylor is pretty much the reason Kevin Love demanded a trade in the first place.

Lol he sounds bitter but is it far-fetched what he is saying? Love isn't all that on D and he will probably receive the most blame if things don't go well. Yep, makes sense.

Kevin Loves plays mediocre defense, Irving also is a sieve. Kevin Love's offense is not built for the low-post area. Glenn Taylor may have a point.

Taylor is hurt that Love didn't want to stay, much like Dan Gilbert was hurt when Lebron bolted.  Taylor didn't come across as nasty as Gilbert did but it's the same thing.  No need for Taylor to badmouth Love at this point; it's just sour grapes.

If he really thinks Love is so flawed there is no way that he would have wanted him to stay so badly and no way that he would react this way after they traded him. 

It's kind of like the breakup of a celebrity relationship in which one of the celebrities airs all of the other's dirty laundry after the breakup.  Not cool. 

This is probably one of the things that make the Wolves the Wolves.

It's said how dumb some NBA owners nowadays. I would ask the Twolves owner that If he knows that Kevin Love is not a good defensive player then why not put around Love better than average defenders? Pekovic? He is probably worse on defense than Love. Rubio? Are you kidding me? Kevin Martin? Barea? I rest my case.

Incompetent owner criticizes star player after he is traded because star player didn't want to play for incompetent owner any longer.

How original

Stop me if you haven't heard this before.

I'd say the only thing Glen Taylor exposed is himself, but everyone already knows he's an incompetent fool when it comes to being an NBA owner.

The Wolves really are a sad franchise. I truly feel bad for their fans. Minneapolis is actually a pretty nice city, and the fan base there seems genuine. They probably deserve better.

Its completely dif than Lebron leaving the Cavs. Atleast the Wolves got back Andrew Wiggins, Bennett, and a first. They also got Thad Young given to them by the Sixers.

Kevin Love made up his mind and gave them far in advance his notice that he would leave. Then they were able to secure the best possible trade.

to be fair, is anything he said wrong? Love is a below average defender. It just happens that wolves games dont get airplay on national TV so people only see the good stats. I would expect even when fans here were clamoring for him they only had seen a handful of his games...and most likely the ones against the C's. Defense IS going to be a problem on that team. other than lebron, no one is a solid defender.

also, Love IS going to be the 3rd wheel there much like Bosh was. a guy who will get the blame if they struggle and will be overlooked if they do well. Of the three I expect his stats to take the biggest hit. But, Love wanted to be a third wheel rather than be a 1st or 2nd.

so, I really dont see anything inacurate in what he said.

He will get more exposure playing beside LeBron that is certain.

It doesn't matter if what he said was accurate or not.  He should have been an adult and just let him go.  Love asked for a trade instead of leaving the Wolves high and dry in free agency.  The Wolves got an excellent haul.  Taylor should just keep his mouth shut.  He looks like an angry teen who got dumped.

And no, I don't think Love will sink to the Bosh role.  There will be plenty of rebounds and assists for him even if he doesn't take 20 shots.  I also wouldn't rank Irving ahead of him so fast.
