The Minnesota Timberwolves made of the most unexpected moves of the offseason so far when they traded for LaMelo Ball from the Charlotte Hornets, finally getting Anthony Edwards the playmaker he's been looking for and putting two of the most exciting and entertaining guards in the NBA in the same back court. 

While it's a move that addresses the Timberwolves' most critical need, it's also a move that few. could have expected, taking Charlotte's franchise star at this point and transplanting him to Minnesota. 

The ceiling is high for what this combination of young scorers can be capable of and in terms of the energy that Ball has going into this new season with new surroundings, he made his feelings clear when he was asked by his father and biggest supporter LaVar Ball during an episode of The LaVar Ball Show.

"It's a dream man, It's a dream," Ball said (via The LaVar Ball Show). 

Both Edwards and Ball have electric play styles, but they differ just enough to be complimentary to each other. While Edwards has been lauded for his athleticism and and can cut and drive with ease to the hoop with high-flying dunks, Ball is a sharpshooter, launching threes from long distance and using his vision on the court to create good looks for his teammates. 

Edwards added a better three point shot of his own this past season, so both members of the Minnesota backcourt will standout as threats on the perimeter, making things even more difficult for opposing defenders to get a hold of them. 

The environment that Ball is walking into and the fact that he has a top-10 player in the NBA as his teammate is a match made in heaven for him, hence his comments to his father, and having another option as strong as Edwards alongside him should free up Ball even more to make the most of his skills. 

Minnesota isn't a perfect team by any means, but shoring up the teams stark lack of a playmaker that they've endured for several seasons is a huge step in the right direction and should go a long way in bringing out the best in both Edwards and Ball. 

There's stiff competition around Minnesota in the Western Conference, but bringing in Ball has already added some optimism in what can be for the Timberwolves and while how successful their season will be isn't a sure thing, what is certain is that there will be some very exciting basketball going down in the Twin Cities.
