Jerry Stackhouse Looking For An Out

Can't say that I'm shocked...

Eddie Sefko is reporting that Jerry Stackhouse is talking with his agent and exploring his options to find a new team -- including a possible buyout.

"The team is always going to protect themselves, so I can't force their hand to do anything,'' Stackhouse said. "I don't really know all the options right now. I talked to Jeff (Schwartz, his agent) yesterday and we've had dialogue over the last few weeks and it's like we were going to keep playing it out. And 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.''

Love Stack, but he just doesn't have it any more.

Possible options to replace him would be McDyess or Marbury I would guess. Although I doubt either would want to come here. Be intersting to see if you can package him in a trade to get something interesting. Maybe Harrington? Pipe dream but…

Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. Back to Suckville with a loss to FLA ATL but whatever, SUCK IT WESTERN KENTUCKY! 1-9 baby!

Yeah, something's definitely wrong with him.

I certainly don’t expect him to play like a young guy, but he just seems out of sync on the court. I’m sure it’s in his head, but something’s definitely not right. He’s a shadow of the player he was last year in his limited minutes so far.

Anyone giving odds that maybe he fails a physical if they try and trade him?

Good luck with that, Stack

He’s a great character guy and used to be a fantastic player, but dude doesn’t have it anymore. I can’t imagine the Mavs getting much in return for him; they may be better off buying him out.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
