In the 2004 offseason, Stackhouse—along with [[Christian Laettner]] and the Wizards' first-round draft pick ([[Devin Harris]])—was traded to the [[Dallas Mavericks]] in exchange for former [[North Carolina Tar Heels|Tar Heel]] and [[NBA All-Star]] [[Antawn Jamison]]. He did not play for 41 games during his first two seasons with Dallas due to groin and continued knee problems, and played mostly the role of [[sixth man]]. During the 2004–05 playoffs, Stackhouse began wearing pressure stockings during games to keep his legs warm, to aid his groin injury, and hold his thigh sleeves in place; the stockings also allowed for better blood flow to the legs.{{citation needed|date=April 2020}} The practice quickly became a trend among NBA players, with [[Kobe Bryant]], [[Tracy McGrady]], [[Vince Carter]], [[Dwyane Wade]], [[LeBron James]] and others adopting pressure stockings the following season.

Stackhouse was still coming off the bench as the 6th man for the [[Dallas Mavericks]] during the [[2005–06 NBA season]]. He was a significant factor in the NBA Finals series against the [[Miami Heat]]. The Mavericks suffered when Stackhouse was suspended for Game 5 for a [[flagrant foul]] on [[Shaquille O'Neal]], and the Heat eventually won the series 4–2. Stackhouse was the third player from the Mavericks suspended during the 2006 playoffs.
