Won't happen. Stockton has openly stated that he'll retire before playing
for another team. He's also got a "gentleman's" agreement with Larry Miller
that if his services are no longer required by Utah or if he doesn't think
he can perform up to his own lofty standards, he'll walk away from his
contract at the end of the year and retire leaving the 9 million on the
table.
