http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/138016448.html Love, Wolves near deadline A deadline looms tonight for the Timberwolves to sign their star forward to a maximum contract. Will he choose to accept their offer? Or will he head toward eventual free agency? 灰狼正在与Love打合约版生死格斗。 KevinLove and the Timberwolves might agree on a maximum contract by Wednesday's 11 p.m. deadline. That would mean either a four-year, $61 million deal or a five-year, $78 million contract. The team prefers a four-year deal; will the All-Star forward hold out for five? 如果最终签约到底是4年 $61million胜利，还是5年 $78million取胜? 灰狼队偏好让4年这一张获得胜利，但Love会是5年的死忠派吗? IF NO DEAL IS REACHED? Negotiations would end until the summer, and Love would become a restricted free agent July 1. The Wolves could match any offer made by another team, or Love could choose to sign a $6.1 million qualifying offer for the 2012-13 season, play it out, and become an unrestricted free agent. 如果如果两方都没分出胜负，那麽Love将变为RFA，他可以接受 $6.1 million的qualifying offer，打完一年後成UFA或是让别队对他报价， 不过灰狼队是拥有足够的薪资可以跟进。 STAT MACHINE The fourth-year forward out of UCLA is 23 years old. He is fifth in the NBA in scoring (24.9 points per game), second in rebounding (13.9) and has 16 double-doubles in 17 games this season. 本季24.9分排NO.5 本季13.9篮板排NO.2 本季至今17场比赛中16场双十 What's being said "You know what?" Love said Monday. "I'm not worried about it. I'm in a good situation regardless of what happens." Neither Love nor Wolves President of Basketball Operations David Kahn commented Tuesday. However, coach Rick Adelman praised Love for his play and not letting talks affect him. Love：「我不担心这件事，不管结果如何我都会保持良好。」 Adelman赞赏着Love是个不会被外界流言而影响表现的球员。 HURRY UP AND WAIT These deals often go to the wire. When the Wolves signed Al Jefferson in 2007, he had to race down to Target Center -- fighting the traffic of an Ozzy Osbourne rock concert on Halloween -- to sign right before the deadline. 这些合约往往迈向很恐怖的境界，就像AL在2007年签下长约的那一刻，是即时 在签署合约期限的前十分钟完成的。 FOR COMPARISON'S SAKE Remember this context: Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook, two members of Love's 2008 draft class, have already signed five-year designated player contracts in recent weeks, Rose for $94 million with Chicago, Westbrook for $80 million with Oklahoma City. New Orleans guard Eric Gordon's contract negotiations could impact Love's as well. 跟Love同一年选秀的Derrick Rose与Russell Westbrook，都准备签下5年合约分别是 $94 million与$80 million，这都会影响到合约的谈判，就连Eric Gordon的合约 协商也同样有所影响。 IN THE MEANTIME The injury-plagued Wolves play at defending NBA champion Dallas at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Preview, C7. 当时AL的经纪人Jeff Schwartz希望他去寻求顶级合约，不过Jefferson 表示他还没那种资格去拿那种合约，最终双方是以5y/$65 million达成合约。 这次Love不断表示他很喜欢这支球队这个地方，合约撇开年限外也是跟AL没太大差别 ，如果能签下那应该是一步好棋。 --
