FBB Agent: Thanks for opening up the negotiations. Given that Kevin Love has already proven himself to be a player worthy of First-Team All-League status, it's an absolute no brainer that we want the full super-max, which would equate to a 30% maximum contract if he manages to make an All-League team again, and would default back to the contract you offered if he didn't. With the projected cap figures for 2012, this would look like the following:

	25% Max	30% Super-Max
Year 1	$15,998,750	$19,198,500
Year 2	$17,278,650	$20,734,380
Year 3	$18,558,550	$22,270,260
Year 4	$19,838,450	$23,806,140
Year 5 (PO)	$21,118,350	$25,342,020
TOTAL	$92,792,750	$111,351,300

Is this agreeable to you?

We would most definitely agree
