Asking questions not asserting facts means you have major doubts.
Guilty, I do not possess the definitive list of the top 100 players all time.
Even if I did, I would be humble enough to question it and test it.
Last two bolded phrases create a major contradiction. Context is that Kelly surpassed expections as they were then the trade was made.
Whatever the expectations were of Kelly at the time of the trade they have zero relevance here.
Even if they did, they are much better examples than Kelly who was already HHOF bound from his time in Detroit.
Along the same line of reasoning AO did not.
Wrong actually, as overpass pointed out earlier Kelly didn't meet expectations in the playoffs in Detroit.
And AO was never traded but I know what you meant there.
