For the good of the Utah Jazz, John Stockton and Karl Malone will have to go.

Eventually.

It's not that they can't play any more, although Stockton may have a little more left in the tank than Malone. It's just that when your go-to guys are 40 and 39 years old, respectively, how good can a team really expect to be?

Well, still pretty darn good, if yesterday was any indication.
