| | ESPN.com: NBA - Stackhouse surprised but excited about joining Wiz |
 | | WASHINGTON -- Jerry Stackhouse was caught off guard when the Detroit Pistons traded him to the Washington Wizards, even after playing summer pickup games with Michael Jordan. |
 | | With the offseason additions of Larry Hughes and Bryon Russell, along with rookies Juan Dixon and Jared Jeffries, Stackhouse said making the playoffs is not good enough for the Wizards, who were 37-45 last season. |
 | | Stackhouse, a two-time NBA All-Star who averaged 21.4 points for the Pistons last season, will feel right at home in Washington, where brothers Avery, James, Robert and sister Mary already live. |
