With Boston unable to trade for Anthony Davis this year due to the Rose rule and LAL not wanting to get rid of all their young pieces and picks and Pelicans ideally not wanting to send Davis to another team in their conference. Why shouldn't the Raptors...

Isaac Quaynor – bid on earlier than I’d feel comfortable with talents I rate more highly to be available at next pick *38 on draft board
Will Kelly – same story as...
I'd happily go without Teague in such a trade, but the NBA Trade Machine has the deal working with Teague, he isn't an essential component, I'd personally prefer Rose though he at this time can't be traded.
The rule with trading picks is you can't trade back to back first round picks.

I thought this might be the best place to ask as I've failed to find this anywhere.
I'm looking for Buckley's long kick season stats from 1993-2007.

Collingwood Almanac 2016:
Player value rankings:
--Untouchable--
1. Brodie Grundy: A best five ruckman in the competition today and the best ruckman in the game under the age of 24.
2. Darcy Moore: Still a developing key forward, but a rapidly improving player and has the mix of attributes...
The idea came from NBA inspiration, viewing a video about the 50 greatest NBA basketball players.
Then the question came up in my mind. Who are the 50 greatest Pies of all time?
As brownlow medalists: Syd Coventry, Albert Collier, Harry Collier, Marcus Whelan, Des Fothergill, Len Thompson...

It will seem like a big call for those not aware or with little knowledge of Wilt and naturally there will be debate as the range of sports people over such a long period of time in such a wide range of sports is so wide and diverse but Wilt is the only guy I'd make that statement of and I don't...

Who Collingwood seem to want based on a combination of media rumours and common sense:

Gaining knowledge in your own game often grows from knowledge in the games of others.
