Well, i agree he did the best move. I think everybody agrees it was time to retire, for Pip, even if he was still a decent player in the league, i mean even now. He's in the Top 50 ever, great player, great man, props to him. It's sad just cause you know, it's over! But yes, it was time to retire. Only thing i disagree is Malone who ruined his legacy (last year?). Cause till the final against Detroit he was been the Lakers real MVP in the Play Offs, stopping Garnett and Duncan. He's 40, but he's still good playing with Shaq. Now he has to retire.

you know Im not saying Malone played so damn bad last year that he ruined his career (however Jordan did LOOL)
Im just saying he ruined his career because it was dope as fuck that he *only* played for UTAH all his fucking life long, and also never was seriously injured.
all he lacked was a ring, and he didnt get this ring. he just got injured seriously for the first time in his life, and played for another team for the first time in his life? for what? he didnt even get money in LA.. after all it was a baaaad move for him...and if he comes back this season it's even worse.

Well, he ruined it cause he didnt win the title. He wanted to make a Mitch Ritchmond move, but it didnt work. I mean damn, he deserved a ring. But Utah wast a competitive team no more. After Stock retired, he chosed to move on. Obviously he didnt ask Utah to be traded, but when his contract expired, he tried to win a title. He didnt sign for the money, you know. So i cant blame him. It didnt work. But he deserved it.
