First-rounder Love signs deal with Timberwolves
Published 7/11/2008 at FOXSports.com News for NBA
The Minnesota Timberwolves signed first-round draft pick Kevin Love on Friday.
The UCLA power forward signed the contract just in time to participate on Minnesota's Las Vegas summer league team.
It was merely a formality thanks to the NBA's rookie salary scale. Love was the fifth overall pick in last month's draft and acquired from Memphis in an eight-player trade that sent O.J. Mayo to the Grizzlies.
He will make about $2.6 million this season and $2.8 million next year.
