Kevin Love: "I would love to compete for a championship in Minnesota, but ..."

Less than a year after signing a four-year, $62-million contract extension (well, really three years, with an option for a fourth), Timberwolves superstar Kevin Love is already hinting he wants out.

As he's been wont to do throughout his career, K-Love dished to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski during the T-Wolves' recent stop in Philadelphia. During their conversation, Love took repeated shots at the T-Wolves organization for not giving him a five-year max deal earlier this year, and for changing the mediocre personnel around him too often, seemingly without rhyme or reason.

Sometimes, it's better to be lucky than good -- but it's best to be both lucky and really frickin' good.

Coming into last night's game in Sacramento, the Timberwolves had lost five games in a row, in the process sinking toward the bottom of the Western Conference standings.

They encountered a plucky Kings team that just wouldn't go away. Though the Wolves led for most of the game, they were only ahead by four with just over 30 seconds left and needed one last basket to seal a much-needed losing streak-snapping victory.

But as the shot clock wound down and the ball got knocked out of Kevin Love's hands, it looked like the Wolves would come up empty during a key offensive possession. Then, the basketball gods intervened.

K-Love's new look is about more than style.

While the Arizona Cardinals were in town to play the Vikings last weekend, Larry Fitzgerald Jr. and Kevin Love went to one of Minneapolis' two Winston's Barbershop locations and gave K-Love a makeover in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

K-Love's shave is about more than aesthetics -- for every Twitter retweet and Facebook like the video receives, Fitzgerald and K-Love will donate 25 cents to breast cancer charities.

Wolves fans are not K-Loving yesterday's news.

October has got to be Kevin Love's least-favorite month at this point.

FROM TUESDAY: Kevin Love is injured while sleeping

On October 16, 2009, Love broke the fourth metacarpal bone in his left hand during a preseason game, causing him to miss the first 18 games of the season (the Wolves stood at a dreadful 1-17 upon his return). Yesterday, almost three years to the day later, he broke the third and fourth metacarpals on his right (shooting) hand while working out in his Minneapolis condo and will again miss the first 15-20 games of the season.
