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...

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.

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

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

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.

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

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