"MINNEAPOLIS - The trade that sent Timberwolves’ Kevin Love to Cleveland over the weekend also included another Minnesota deal.

K-Love, the octopus, will lose his name to Cleveland, too. It will be traded to the Greater Cleveland Aquarium to be used for their giant pacific octopus."

Really ? Jeez....

Sounds like good-natured fun.

Good to see that the folks in Minneapolis have a sense of humor and are taking the loss of star player in stride--something that Cleveland failed at not too long ago.

What do you expect from a town that names an octopus after a NBA player?

At least they are not up-in-arms over the change.

C'mon, they were both named after a local LA radio station... 107.5 FM.

If that is actually true, it's very, very funny:
