Peja Stojakovic doesn't want to retire. He doesn't want to finish his career in Europe.
He hopes to stay in the NBA.
While there is no guarantee an NBA team will want to sign Stojakovic when he becomes a free agent this summer, he let that desire be known in an interview with FanHouse.
"That's my preference,'' said the Dallas forward, a 13-year veteran. "I would like to finish in the NBA. But it depends on how I feel physically. If I can play another year (in the NBA), that'd be great.''
Stojakovic is an old 33. Nagging injuries have made him nowhere near the player who made three All-Star appearances and four times averaged more than 20 points in the first half of the past decade.
There had been rumblings the Serbian might retire after this season or look to finish his career in Europe. He didn't rule those out as options in an interview last season with FanHouse.
But now he wants to squeeze out another NBA season.
"I still enjoy playing,'' he said.
