As most know, stories are abound outlining Malone's alleged trade request to a contending team.

According to this report in the Deseret News, it is all old news as this conversation took place last summer.

Karl Malone "asked if [Utah would] consider trading him to a team with a legitimate title shot. [Larry] Miller responded that while he's always wanted Malone to retire in a Jazz uniform, he understood his yearning for a championship and would have a tough time saying 'no.'"

Has anything happened since that time? Nope.

Utah couldn't find anything attractive and that's where it ended.
