Players coming off their rookie scale contracts can extend for four additional seasons, although the team can designate one player who is eligible for five seasons at the maximum salary. A team can have only one designated player on its roster at any time.
That is apparently the important part. According to SI.com,
quote:
Pekovic did not make his NBA debut until after signing a three-year, $13 million contract in 2010. His new agreement is not a rookie extension and is therefore not subject to the “designated player” rule, which allows a franchise only one five-year rookie extension at a time. The Timberwolves, then, are still free to offer a five-year rookie extension to point guard Ricky Rubio down the road.

They also say that he has up to $8MIL in incentives available.
Would have been a good fit at that price. Don't know if the Pels could have gotten him if they offered that little. The 5 years is a little worrisome- he's 28 in January and has missed decent chunks of time already. But it's a good deal for the Wolves and with their other moves this summer, probably keeps Love happy enough to stick around.

They couldn't. If the Wolves could offer this much then they sure as hell would have matched an offer with the same value.
