Help us find a catchphrase for all these Kevin Love trade rumors

We had “Dwightmare” and “Melodrama.” Now, what catchphrase should we apply to the ongoing Kevin Love trade rumors?

SB Nation 2014 NBA Playoff Bracket

Sunday brought about a fresh batch of Kevin Love trade rumors, which will likely continue throughout the summer and well into next season. The Timberwolves’ forward, frustrated by his team losing throughout his six-year tenure, reportedly wants out. He can opt out and become a free agent after next season, so Minnesota is slowly resigning itself to the need to deal him now and at least get some value back in return for his departure.

1-855-NEED-LOVE

This will likely drag on for a long time. As Tom Ziller noted in February, the Timberwolves should be reluctant to trade their best player in years. They won’t just give him away. And thus, we should prepare ourselves for hundreds of updates on every little element of this saga.

So, while we’re here, let’s give it a name. There was “Melodrama.” There was “Dwightmare.” Now, there’s ____.

That’s where you come in. Help us figure out what phrase best fills in the blank. We have lots of options because “Love” is an easily punned last name, but which is best?
