Question re: Love as a max player


I've seen a lot of people arguing for Kevin Love to get a max deal on here, and I'm curious as to exactly why that is. I understand thinking he's a great player, and that one may feel it's perfectly legitimate for him to get a max contract. But I don't understand why Wolves fans would argue vehemently that he deserves a max contract. After all, the more that is tied up with Love, the less flexibility the Wolves will have to surround him with good players. Wouldn't it make more sense to hope the Wolves sign him for less than the max, even if it's only by a little bit? If those advocating a max deal could offer some insight, I would greatly appreciate it (thoughts from those not advocating this position are also welcome).
