...bring in Malone if he wanted to make a run at being the oldest player to win a title and break the scoring records? I bet at 50+ he is still in better shape than 75% of the NBA now and could still come off the bench for a dozen pts, 8 boards, and some solid positional D, as well as throw a few elbows around. Not saying I have heard any rumors or anything (hell there isn't a best buy anywhere near Leipzig), just conjecture. Let the boredom of off-season commence!!
 
I advocated (not seriously, mind you) doing this during tanking seasons. In fact, having Malone off the bench would have made any of the Corbin years more interesting.
 
Off the bench, for a few minutes a game. Yeah. I'd be alright with that. My biggest concern would be that he'd get hurt. That would tarnish the entire idea. Either that, or he'd upset the chemistry of the current group.

In terms of P&R. I'd love Exum, Hayward and Favors to use the knowledge of guys like Stockton and Malone to add to what Quin is teaching them. Plus, Karl would come in as the biggest trash talker the Jazz have had since Karl Malone. Booker is fun, but Karl is on a whole other level.
