Yeah Starks was placed on the inactive list which forced him to miss the entire 2001-02 Playoffs since the active roster had to be finalized before the playoffs started. He was pretty much done by the time he arrived in Utah but he had some good moments to start the 2000-01 season. His trademark toughness and fiery competitiveness was still there. People talk about Raja Bell's toughness but Starks was every bit as tough an SOB if not more so, and like Raja would get a little crazy at times.
2000-01 was the last time it looked like Stockton&Malone might make a push for a championship. The Lakers' dynasty wasn't established yet and Utah acquired some key vets in Starks, Marshall and Danny Manning and were pushing for the best record in the west until they had a mini-collapse with about 2 weeks to go in the regular season. Alot of memorable games from that season though.
