07/08 Stats	GP	GS	MPG	PPG	FG%	3P%	FT%	RPG	APG	PER (NBA Rank)
Jerry Stackhouse	58	13	24.3	10.7	40.5%	32.6%	89.2%	2.3	2.5	13.37 (172nd)

Want Him: He can still go off for big scoring nights every now and then. Perceived as the main 'veteran leader' on the team.

Don't Want Him: Aging fast -- his ppg dropped for the fourth year in a row. In the postseason he averaged 20 min and 6 points per game on 31.6% shooting (of course he wasn't healthy so I don't know why he was playing that much...). Is he just a relic of the Avery era?

Want him

only as a 6-9th man, and to be used as a “brent barry” in a trade with another team with his 6 mil expiring contract.

Oh and only if he gets a new groin/hamstring doctor this year also.

Ofcourse I

don’t want him.

He is a hamper on this team, but no one else wants him either.

So I guess we are screwed.

Want Him Now

For the sole reason that we can’t get something in return for him. He’s aging fast and injury-prone the last season. Nobody wants him now, might as well keep him as a bench player to provide toughness and leadership. The best value he could have now aside from leadership is as a trade bait. Maybe a package of Howard/Stack can attract an impact player…

agree with this

We’re stuck with him unless some team wants him so they can free up space. I think he can still contribute as a 7th or 8th option off the bench. He can still be a physical player when healthy and he’ll hit almost all his free throws.

Want him...

We’re not paying him a whole lot, so I wouldn’t mind keeping him. I think injuries bothered him more at the end of last year than people realize. He’s obviously not what he used to be, but he can still provide some scoring off the bench … I don’t see any better options at backup SG unless we sign a guy. If we try the Terry sixth-man experiment again, he could at least eat up minutes as a starter. He could probably benefit from Kidd, too … we wouldn’t really need him scoring all of his points out of iso situations.

If he’s included in a good deal, I wouldn’t shed too many tears over it, but in the meantime, why not keep the guy?
