Jerry Stackhouse is a free agent this season. He's struggled at times trying to play with Michael Jordan, but should have the team to himself if he stays in Washington.

Stackhouse is an interesting possibility. He is one of the best pure scorers in the league. He can shoot, drive to the basket and get to the line. His defense isn't great, but it has improved in recent years.

He is somewhat of a ballhog in my book and I'm not convinced he's all about winning, so I'm not sure I want the Spurs to go after him. But they could do worse this offseason.

A ball hog that couldn't get into the playoffs with Michael Jordan. I'll pass.

Funny how a Stackhouse signing this summer would be a let down for the Spurs. :smokin2

Keep dreaming, you seriously think Stack will sign somewhere where he isnt the #1 option?

That's correct, Hick. Tim Duncan hurts the chances of getting free agents more than it helps because he takes up so much of the ball and attention and endoresements.

I don't think the Spurs are interested in Stack.

I like Stackhouse, but the latest gossip has him staying in Washington, and completeing his current contract. Speculation is that the lack of free agent money has made players with options like Stack rethink backing out of guaranteed money.

Has great numbers and gets to the FT line a lot, but is he a team player? When he left the Sixers, the Sixers started winning, and when he left the Pistons, the Pistons started winning. Coincidence?

I think Stack will wait until 2004. I don't see any teams giving him much of a raise from this current deal and he could possibly get less if (and probably when) the available money goes elsewhere. With Jordan gone next season, Stack will have a chance to prove that he's worthy of a top consideration and could work himself into a better contract.

I agree Genghis. I think he'll use 2003-04 to try to shine and boost his marketability.

I'm a bit worried about his scoring needing to come in isolation plays, just like Allen Houston. I like Stack, but I'd rather gamble on Odom if the Spurs are looking to fill a need at the 2/3. Pop seems to do pretty well getting the most out of young, talented but raw players (look at Jax). Odom has the potential to be great, but the baggage he brings makes me rather want to go for a sure thing like Kidd or O'Neal if possible.

Honestly, I hate Stackhouse. I'd hate for the Spurs to get him. He's a ballhog who is all about his stats. He scores a lot because he shoots a lot.

I wouldn't want Stackhouse if the Wizards GAVE him to the Spurs.
