Boston is big so there is a fair chance.

what a game! 4 sec. left memphis up by 3 gasol just had a chance to close the game but missed both free throws!


haddadi didnt play

[EKBATAN]

game over....pierce missed the 3


grizzlies one step closer to playoff with a huge win over celtics

LOL. Hamed spoke pretty good IMO. Kind of reminds me of Vlade Divac a bit.

He deserves more playing time. Every time he steps on the court he plays hard, works hard, and is plays efficient ball. FFS what more can you ask for???

I just want to slap Lionel Hollins.

nothing pumps up a crowd like broken english lol

Haddadi can become a very efficient player, and it stinks that in a league with such crap centers hes getting no playing time..im sure a team like golden state or houston could use him

how much more of agha Hamed's contract is left?

how much more of agha Hamed's contract is left?

this is the last year.

Anyways, Memphis lost to the bulls tonight. Haddadi didn't play, but as usual like most Memphis games it was fun to watch.
The fought to the last second and lost by 3 against the best team in the east. Considering after San Antonio their scheduled is pretty easy, we should see more Hamed.

haddadi is in a crappy situation. hes in a team where he is competing for playing time with marc gasol, zach randolph, darell arthur, and leon powe....now all of us knowledgable basketball fans here know that all four players are either well accomplished or is playing very well right now(which hamed is as well) or both. therefore, u cant blame hollins for not always playing haddadi. he should sign with another nba team where he can develop and have a bigger impact, ideally my new york knicks. we are in DIRE need of a center and someone who can grab boards which hamed is fairly good at, so the best thing for hamed to do in the offseason is to sign with another team that can really use his services

[IranFootball10]

^ yeah, his number # 1 priority should be getting playing time and not money. If he wants to sign with the Knicks, he will probably have to take less money than other places because the Knicks want to make their big 2 into a big 3 with someone like chris Paul or possibly deron Williams

hameds current contract is worth 1.6 mill a year im pretty sure the knicks would be willing to match that IF they want him.

cp and deron williams arent free agents untill next summer anyways so money for him wouldnt be an issue. and your right about that he shouldnt care about money, getting playing time for him is the most important thing at the moment so he can prove himself as a top back up center or even a starting center

[IranFootball10]

yeah, thats what happened to Marcin Gortat, he went from being a seldom-used back up to Dwight Howard in Orlando to a starting center for the Suns, almost averaging a double-double.

yes he has no place in memphis cuz of what u mentioned, so him and his agent need to get busy this summer and very early. He also needs to attend other teams' practices if he can after the off season...i just hope he doesnt go back to iran, he needs to stay, work on his game and find another team even if its for half the money he gets. all he needs is playing time which will raise his value another couple of years then he can sign a bigger contract.

he's 25/26 so staying healthy he can play up to his early to mid 30s, most likely he'll cap out at 32 so he has a chance to make a name for himself. I believe alot of people in nba are aware of him somewhat.

yeah i think hamed has proven that he has potential given his current form. since he is young, and clearly talented, i dont see why any nba team in need of a center (which there are quite a few) wouldnt want him. he has bulked up a TON since he entered the NBA.
