Jerry Stackhouse is thinking about signing on with a team at midseason again next year, just like he did with the Bucks this season.

Stackhouse is averaging 8.1 points for Milwaukee, which is 23-8 since he first played on Jan. 20.

"I might just try to do the same route I did this year," said Stackhouse. "Just kind of catch on, hook on (midway through next season) to rest the legs a little bit longer."

Stackhouse signed on with the Bucks after they lost Michael Redd for the season to injury. He previously hadn't been offered a guaranteed contract by an NBA team.

"I don't know if it works with every team," Stackhouse added. "But it would be able to work with some teams. I could provide a spark for a team. It could work for guys as they continue to get older. Is playing all of an 82-game season really worthwhile, with what your body needs and with training camp and the pounding? I think I feel like I still can do it. But I've got to be realistic as I wind down my career."
