Mavs-ex Stackhouse still waiting for a call

Mavericks alumnus Jerry Stackhouse is arguably the most prominent free agent
in the league still looking for a job.
But that's largely because the 34-year-old, twice an All-Star, is determined
to wait for a firm offer from a certain playoff team.
Sources close to the situation say that Stackhouse was promptly called by the
Houston Rockets earlier this month when the Rockets -- after inviting Rashad
McCants to Rockets camp on a non-guaranteed contract -- decided they could
not go through with their intended signing of McCants because the swingman
was sidelined by an abdominal injury just before camp opened.
The Rockets, though, wanted Stackhouse to come to camp to compete with three
other players final roster spot. The combination of that stipulation and Houston's expected
slide into the lottery, with Yao Ming expected to miss the entire season and
Tracy McGrady facing an uncertain return from knee surgery, prompted
Stackhouse to pass.
Atlanta, Denver and Miami are said to be three situations that greatly
intrigue Stackhouse after he worked out some with the Hawks late in the
offseason and with both the Nuggets and Heat known to have a need at his
position. Yet all three of those teams would like to carry 13 players this
season instead of the maximum 15 because of luxury-tax concerns and/or want
players with non-guaranteed contracts at the end of their rosters to maintain
maximum flexibility.
Stackhouse, McCants and Wally Szczerbiak would appear to be the three most
accomplished NBA swingmen who remain unsigned. Chances are, though, that
Stackhouse is bound to get a call he wants to take before long, once injuries
start piling up or when teams' holes become more glaring than they are in
mid-October, when coaches and executives are generally fond of their squads.
Stackhouse auditioned for New York over the summer and insists that he has
fully recovered from the plantar fasciitis that conspired to limit him to
just 10 games with Dallas last season, which was followed by Stackhouse's
inclusion in the four-team deal in July that brought Shawn Marion to the
Mavs. The Memphis Grizzlies wound up with Stackhouse when they were recruited
to help facilitate the Marion trade and paid $2 million to buy out his $7
million expiring contract for this season.
"I'm just happy to be healthy and able to compete again," Stackhouse said in
August. "That's the most important thing. I'm just happy to get back to play.
. . I think teams know what I bring to the table when I'm healthy."
