Hoopshype (Jorge Sierra Blog): Stack not ready to retire

Quote:

The bad economic climate has hurt a lot of players this offseason. Many marquee free agents have had to settle for low contracts and some others have been directly left outside in the cold with training camps already under way. The most storied of them all, with Stephon Marbury’s permission, would be two-time All-Star Jerry Stackhouse, who spent most of his last season in Dallas riding the bench and now finds himself without a team in October.

Needless to say, Stackhouse is none too happy about it.

“I didn’t expect it to go like this, but with this game you never know,” Stackhouse said.

if we had extra cash around, i wouldn't mind using it on him... savvy vet who still has some game left in those legs...
i'm surprised no one has offered him anything as yet, he still has something left in the tank i would assume.

**Belsius** · 10-07-2009, 11:02 AM

where do you put him though? I dont think there enough playing time.

Windex · 10-07-2009, 11:03 AM

with DeRozan/Beli/Jack getting time at the 2, its already full
and all those players are better than Stack, Douby might even be better than him

SG- Derozan/Beli/Jack/Wright/Douby

We're already STACKED at that position.

**INSIDER** · 10-07-2009, 11:14 AM

I was thinking SF...
i know it would never happen, but how much better would he have looked on the squad than douby?

I'm just more surprised that no one has thrown him a bone... no one. not even the spurs... and they love going after veterans like him.

**Acie** · 10-07-2009, 11:20 AM

When's the last ime he played a season where he was remotely healthy for an extended period of time?

**INSIDER** · 10-07-2009, 11:27 AM

07-08 - he played about 70 games and put up some decent numbers for the Mavs...
same as the year before that.
for a vet presence off the bench, he would give you 10 ppg and a few rebs/assts. He took pretty much all last season off, and says he feels great (his own words of course).
Looks like he'll just be forced into retirement.

**Acie** · 10-07-2009, 11:32 AM

He's played 26, 56, 55, 67, 58 and 10 games each season over the last six years.

My bet is he'll hook up with a team looking for a little added insurance/depth going into the playoffs.

Pass. Stack is just too old. His legs have seen better days. With the youngins we have, I'd rather go forward with them. I couldn't see Stackhouse coming to a team that doesn't play him unless he has a real good shot at a ring. I could see him on the Spurs, Lakers, Cavs, Celtics....

i would love to see him in the celtics uniform...

He'd make a great player/coach for the younger raptors, Derrick Martin Styles...

There is no chance in hell that he becomes a Raptor this year unless its through a trade. The teams I could envision him landing on would be the Magic, Jazz, Rocket and Knicks. The Rocket and Jazz certainly could use some vet depth like what Stack could offer. The Jazz in particular. They're hurting at the 2 right now. Stack would start the season for them if he were there.
