After a long and drawn out process, Kevin Love was recently traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers -- and Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor had some less-than-kind words about his former star player.

The three time NBA All-Star and former No. 5 overall pick is regarded as one of the best players in the entire league and certainly one of the best power forwards. However, he is not without his critics. His former owner Taylor recently voiced his opinion about Love, saying:

"I think he's around a couple guys who 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 also went on to explain that Love will be the third best player on the Cavaliers roster.

His comments come off as a sad owner who lost his best player, like Dan Gilbert in 2010. It appears as if Taylor really believed there was a chance Love was actually going to stay.

Taylor has been the Timberwolves owner since 1994. Since his ownership began, the Timberwolves have only made it out of the first round one time.

Yes, that's right, one first round advancement in 20 years of ownership.

Similar to LeBron James in Cleveland, the Timberwolves failed to build around him and build a great roster. It's no surprise Love wanted out of Minnesota. If Timberwolves fans want to be upset at someone, the frustration can start at the owner.
