[外電] 驚!Stackhouse considering leaving Dallas Mavericks

 CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Jerry Stackhouse and his agent are exploring options for
a possible departure from the Dallas Mavericks, the result of a turbulent
first month of the season in which his playing time and level of performance
have dropped dramatically.

Stackhouse did not demand a trade Monday after practice, but he calmly
detailed his situation and said that he feels there is plenty of good
basketball left in him, too much to be a bit player. He speculated that the
end of his Mavericks tenure might be coming soon and that the organization's
decision to bring along young players has left him with an uncertain future,
given that he will probably be a free agent next summer.

"Sometimes, that cycle comes," Stackhouse said. "When I came to Philadelphia
[as a rookie], Jeff Malone was still a very capable player. But they said:
'Jeff, Jerry Stackhouse is the starting shooting guard here, and we're
starting over.' He still went and played somewhere for a couple more seasons.

"And you got to start that process sometimes. I'm not mad, and not the first
one that the process has started with. It's going to start with some more
here before too long."

There are only three ways that Stackhouse and the Mavericks could divorce –
 either through a trade, by waiving him or by buying out his contract, which
is paying him $7 million this season and is partially guaranteed for $2
million next year.


Without consistent playing time, Stackhouse has no way to improve his stock
for next summer, when he would be a free agent if the Mavericks waive him.

Stackhouse, 34, knows there is no simple solution. Ideally, he would like to
play more with the Mavericks and finish out his contract with the team that
acquired him in 2004. But coach Rick Carlisle is committed to bringing along
young shooting guards Antoine Wright and Gerald Green, which is eating into
Stackhouse's minutes.

"The team is always going to protect itself, so I can't force their hand to
do anything," Stackhouse said. "I don't really know all the options right
now. It's to the point now where it's time to start researching some things
and see if there are some other possibilities that make more sense for me
right now."

Stackhouse was put on the inactive list Sunday at New York. He also was held
out of another game earlier this month. In the eight games he's played, he's
averaged 17.6 minutes, 29.1 percent shooting and 5.3 points.

Carlisle and president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson talked with
Stackhouse and his agent, Jeff Schwartz, earlier this month about the
situation. The resolution was that there would be certain games when
Stackhouse would be inactive because the matchups did not favor him. Such was
the case against the Knicks.


The Dallas Mavericks' Jerry Stackhouse averaged only 17.6 minutes in the last
eight games he's played.

Management thought Stackhouse was OK with that setup. But his frustrations
suggest otherwise.

"Jerry has helped us get to some pretty special places the last four years,"
Nelson said. "Hopefully, we can work together to find a win-win solution with
him in a Mavericks uniform.

"If that's not possible, then we'll go to Phase B and explore other options."

Nelson said the Mavericks aren't averse to working with Stackhouse and his
agent to find a better spot for the 6-6 veteran of 14 NBA seasons, if one is
out there. But Nelson's No. 1 priority is to protect the Mavericks' interests.

Complicating matters is Stackhouse's level of play, which has not enhanced
his trade value. He's also fought a sore right heel, in which he recently got
a cortisone shot and which will keep him out of tonight's game in Charlotte
and probably a few more.

Stackhouse said Schwartz, who did not return phone calls, has worked behind
the scenes to gauge interest from other teams in Stackhouse.

"Now it's time to take that stuff to Donnie and to Mark, and hopefully it
adds up," Stackhouse said. "It's not that we are aggressively trying to do
something right away. I don't think that's the case. I just think if it's an
opportunity that's kind of beneficial for both sides, we'll have to take a
look at it.

"That's why I give a guy 4 percent of my paycheck, for these situations.
Donnie and Mark ... but they're always going to protect the team and do
something that's better for the team as opposed to something that's better
for me."

Neither Nelson, Carlisle or Stackhouse could predict whether there would be
any quick resolution to this issue.

"I could very well be sitting here in April," Stackhouse said. "The good
thing about it is that I'm a renter. [If it drags out], then I'll have some
fresh legs for the '09-10 season."





慘囉~
