Derrick, it goes without saying that you are the lifeblood of this team. When we lost you to injury amidst our final push to the playoffs last season, we were extremely disheartened. We hope you would consider a full supermax extension to remain in Philadelphia, and we believe if you play a full season you will earn the premium dollar figure escalator that comes with being an all-league level talent.
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% Maximum with opportunity to escalate to 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 w/player option $21,118,350 - $25,342,020
TOTAL $92,792,750 - $111,351,300
