we’ll do that” Malone’s comments were some of his most detailed to date about his thoughts on leaving the Jazz He had 23 points nine rebounds and seven assists as Utah sent the - Mavericks to their third straight loss Malone was quite surprised to hear that Miller was practically calling him out publicly Before the game Miller went on the Jazz's pregame show and then met with reporters saying this is no time for Malone’s future to be an issue with the Jazz heading into the playoffs for the 20th consecutive season ft's the latest in a series of public spats — some small some big — between Malone and Miller And as in the past this tiff was an outgrowth of Malone’s public musings over whether he’d ever leave ' “I’ve put up with them I’m not going to put up with them now If he wants to get into a (public shouting) contest let’s go” Miller said “Tb throw disruptive hand grenades is not right It’s not fair to his teammates It’s not fair to the coaches It’s not fair to the franchise
