Kevin Love's meme game has never been stronger.

Shortly after Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reported Saturday that Channing Frye would return to the Cleveland Cavaliers on a one-year, $2.4 million deal, Love broke out a photoshopped version of LeBron James' famous 2014 Sports Illustrated cover featuring Frye in the King's place:

Love and Frye also traded playful barbs in their Instagram stories, as ESPN's Rachel Nichols documented:
