Jerry Stackhouse was a few years removed from his All-Star days when he was acquired by the Dallas Mavericks as part of a draft night deal with the Washington Wizards in June 2004.

The deal also brought Christian Laettner and the rights to fifth overall pick Devin Harris to the Mavs in exchange for Antawn Jamison.

Stackhouse worked primarily off the bench for Dallas, starting just 40 games in five seasons.

He was part of the Mavericks squad that reached the NBA Finals in 2006, losing in six games to the Miami Heat.

Limited to five games in the series, Stackhouse nonetheless averaged 12.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes a game off the bench, shooting .355/7-for-19/13-for-14 in the series.

Stackhouse left Dallas in July 2009, part of a four-team sign-and-trade deal that sent him, along with cash, to the Memphis Grizzlies, with the Mavericks also sending cash to the Orlando Magic and Devean George and Antoine Wright to the Toronto Raptors and getting back Greg Buckner from Memphis and Shawn Marion, Kris Humphries and Nathan Jawai from the Raptors.

In five seasons with Dallas, Stackhouse averaged 12.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 25.7 minutes per game, shooting .409/.314/.865.

An All-American as a sophomore, Stackhouse opted to turn pro after that season. He averaged 19.2 points and 8.2 rebounds per game while helping the Tar Heels to the Final Four.

He was taken third overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1995 NBA Draft, Stackhouse was traded to the Detroit Pistons in December 1997.

After two All-Star berths in Detroit and a second-place finish in the scoring race in 2000-01, Stackhouse was sent to Washington in September 2002.

Following his stint in Dallas, Stackhouse was waived by the Grizzlies the day after he was traded there and signed in January 2010 with the Milwaukee Bucks.

He signed with Miami in October 2010, but was waived in November of that year. He made a comeback in December 2011 with the Atlanta Hawks and signed as a free agent with the Brooklyn Nets in July 2012.

Unsigned in the summer of 2013, Stackhouse retired. He joined the Raptors as an assistant coach in June 2015.
