he officially needs to get traded

There isn't a team in the NBA that would trade for him. What he needs to do is GET BETTER, or go back to Iran/Europe.

I really don't rate Gasol. Haddadi needs some playing time asap, otherwise wasn't all this a waste of time. That article states he gets like $64k per min in the games he's played! What a joke!

i havent gone thru this thread to see if this has been posted or not but in GQ magazine (the one with lebron on the cover), there was a side note about haddadi playing and on his first day in practice his coach "flipped him off" by giving him a thumb's up lol

anybody who is familiar with the NBA should realize that whether or not he plays this year is largely irrelevant as long as he continues to demonstrate substantial improvement in his overall game, and practices hard. Most NBA coaches have a very short leash on rookies, especially big men, because they take the longest to mature into the rapid NBA pace. Players like Jermaine O'neal and Anthony Randolpg or even Brandan Wright entered the league with much more fanfare and hype but still struggled to get playing time their first year. He has to maintain his roster spot until next year when he will be given more of an opportunity once the coaches feel more comfortable with his game, and develop confidence in his basketball IQ. Even though Gasol and Milicic and largely overrated and have reached their ceiling in terms of what they can do on the court, Haddadi seems to have much better potential as long as he remains patient and adapts himself to the rigors of an NBA season...

When you're mentioning Anthony Randolph and Brandan Wright as 2 of your 3 examples along with Jermaine O'Neal, I know you're a Warriors fan lol.

But don't worry, so am I.
