That the Jazz Will Trade Malone And Stockton to a team that has a good chance of winning a title. What about malone or stock to the lakers. I know the contracts don't match up.

If Malone complained enough he could get traded. I don't see Stockton going anywhere. I think Utah wants them both to spend their entire career as Jazz and will hold off the rebuilding process until they retire.

Well...I would personally like to see John Stockton and Karl Malone retire as Jazz loyals. Yeah, if they stay, they won't win a championship, but so what? Do we think any less of them because they never will have won? I sure hope none of you would. Malone or Stockton going to a team just for a championship ring would just seem like selling out to me.

Malone and Stockton ain't going nowhere, kind of sounds like the Jazz this year.

Re-read Wiggum's sentence: "No i dont they will finish there hall of fame careers with the Jazz." I think that's a pretty straightforward sentence there--he is saying that neither HALL OF FAME player will finish his career with Utah. Not that neither player will make the Hall of Fame.

Well he didn't use very good grammer in the sentence so let me write it again. "No I don't, they will finish their Hall of Fame careers with the Jazz." Now read that sentence 5 times and then maybe you will understand it, if not pm me.

Actually I think this is what he meant. His punctuation was bad.
No I dont. (answer to the princetolaker's question of do you think they be traded). They will finish there hall of fame careers with the Jazz.

Stockton and Malone are never gonna play for any other team except for the Jazz

OK...that actually makes a lot more sense. My mistake. Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that they don't have to go and win a championship because no one will think any less of them for not having done so. It's like...I dunno it just seems distasteful to abandon the team you built your whole career around just to win. So, in conclusion, no, I don't think they will leave, and I don't think that they should, either.

its spelt grammar, not "grammer".
