Swingman Jerry Stackhouse said his future with the Washington Wizards could hinge on whether the team offers him a contract extension before July 1, when he can opt out of the remainder of his two-year, $15 million deal.

Stackhouse said he has discussed his future with team owner Abe Pollin, whom he encouraged to pursue Rick Carlisle for the vacant head coaching job.

"I'm committed to be in Washington, if they want to extend me or whatever they feel they need to do," Stackhouse said today during a break while filming a public service announcement about fighting obesity and diabetes. "I'm willing to do whatever. Right now I'm in the middle of the road."

Stackhouse, who averaged a team-high 22 points last season, said Pollin told him he would like for the yet-to-be-hired president of basketball operations to deal with the specifics of Stackhouse's contract.
