Yes.

Statistically there's no doubt. If he signs a deal that's significantly under the max his agent should commit hara-kiri.

he should be insulted by the 4 year $60 mill they're supposedly going to offer him...

Re: Is Kevin Love worthy of a max-level deal?
 

No doubt he is worth a max deal. He could be the face of the franchise for years to come, and with the current team assembled i don't see why they couldn't make some noise in the playoffs down the line a la OKC a few years ago.

If you compare him with other players who have received a max deal - then yes. Traditionally would I consider him a max level player? No.

No

I feel as though only superstars should get the max. We will probably give it to him to keep him though. He isn't a LeBron, Kobe, Durant or Rose where you can give them the ball and they will take over and win you the game.

when you got players like Tyson Chandler and Nene getting paid 15 million a season, then you know Kevin Love is a worth a max level deal.

Yes. The lack of decent big man in this league is stunning.

Re: Is Kevin Love worthy of a max-level deal?
 

Of course he is: top 4 PF at age 23 in a league of diminishing big-man talent.

Re: Is Kevin Love worthy of a max-level deal?
 

If the T'Wolves don't, someone else will and they've been crap long enough. Don't start penny pinching now that you look like you've got the makings of a decent future.

I think Kevin Love's playoff performances speak for themselves.

Re: Is Kevin Love worthy of a max-level deal?
 

24 wins
15 wins
17 wins

Re: Is Kevin Love worthy of a max-level deal?
 

How about Rudy Gay's playoff performances? He got the max also.

Re: Is Kevin Love worthy of a max-level deal?
 

Seeing the other contracts in the league, yes he is.
