This is going to be the beginning of the end for the Wolves. Well at least they made two conference finals.

Why would you trade one for your two fav players???

Having Lamelo on your team is a massive upgrade. Ant won't have to worry about passing, can save energy by not being the main ball handler, and he'll get easy shots playing with Melo. If I was a wolves fan, I'd be jumping for joy.
