"By 11 p.m. Wednesday night Twin Cities time, you'll know.

You'll know if Kevin Love has signed a four- or five-year contract extension -- either one at the maximum salary -- or he won't have signed at all.

And that decision hasn't been made yet, not by a long shot.

Contrary to reports elsewhere -- and I have waited a 27-year career to use that line -- Love HAS NOT agreed to a four-year extension that would allow the Wolves to save that designated-player status for the future.

He tweeted as much tonight when he sent this one out: "If you read it on the Internet it must be true right? #sarcasm"

In fact, as Tuesday rolled by, I have become more and more doubtful of what I have contended all along: That Love and the Wolves will reach an agreement because it makes just too much sense for either side not to."
