Does Larry Miller Want Dee Brown Out of Utah?

So earlier today, I revealed that Dee Brown's days in Utah might be through. You'd think it was because Brown's just not that good. But back in June, The Salt Lake Tribune's Ross Siler reported that Larry Miller thought Brown was a bad influence on Deron Williams:
Miller was encouraged about Brown's development but suggested off-the-court issues were discussed during the Jazz's organizational meeting Wednesday ... "Now Deron's married and Dee's not," Miller said, "and so if Dee is going out, who's he going to go with, and is that good for Deron?"
It's no secret that Miller is a serious right-winger who wants to run a tight and moral ship. And Brown is a marginal player who will be lucky to stay in the NBA. That said, this seems like a particularly petty reason for getting shown the door. I mean, Williams and Brown were among the four Jazz players cleared of rape accusations, but that case never even really got off the ground.

I suspect that it might backfire, and rub Williams the wrong way. Stay tuned for this imminent Salt Lake Soap Opera.
