[mzgrizz]

Hamed Hadaddi resigned

details to come

Guess I figured this was coming; crowd pleaser; actually had some good games time for us last 2 seasons...........

[MrfadeawayJB]

yeah, he is a serviceable 4th or 5th big on our team. provides size, but shot blocking is still a concern for me

[J Falk]

Don't expect him to get too much PT, but he can definitely get the job done when his numbers called. I don't mind Haddadi being our emergency backup big.

Not sure if Wallace could have done a better job this offseason, given the circumstances. If we're over the luxury tax, it's not by much at all. Mr. Pera will be happy about that.

[MrfadeawayJB]

yeah the offseason has been quiet but solid. I wonder if Hadaddi's contract was short term, like 1 or 2 years? I hope so..

if he can do this if one of our bigs go down then the contract should be for like 5 years, lol. I just realized he's like the 3rd tallest player in the NBA too.

[MrfadeawayJB]

If the price is right, I dont mind a long term contract for Hamed. He has shown he is solid, and if given minutes he can contribute. I think it was in the Fiba tourney last summer he averaged 21 pts and 10 reb a game for Iran playing against international competition

[MrfadeawayJB]

What grade would you give the Grizz's offseason thus far?

Shipped out/unsigned: Pargo, Mayo, Arenas, Cunningham, Hudson

Brought in/Resigned: Bayless, Ellington, Wroten Jr., Arthur (2 yr extension), Speights (2yr extension), Hadaddi (resigned)

Jared Bayless, that dude is special, hate to see him leave Toronto but Jose ran the team better....This guy I truly believe is ready to run his own team however still being a back up isn't that bad i mean he's only 23

[J Falk]

I'd give our offseason grade a B. Passing, but nothing spectacular. Hopefully these 3pt shooters we've brought in can become consistent here in Memphis. It will be fun to see how all these new pieces fit in with the team.

I agree with you.......except I might have given a B-
Expected a little more pizzazz

[MrfadeawayJB]

I'd give it a B as well. You cant just look at who we brought in, but the people we didnt let go (speights, arthur) who can be major contributors next season

[J Falk]

tis very true...I can't believe the Lakers are about to get dwight howard and al harrington for gasol and bynum...wow...as if the Thunder weren't gonna be hard enough to get by next year..

[J Falk]

Nash, Kobe, Artest, Harrington, Howard with Antwan Jamison as the 6th man...jeez!

[MrfadeawayJB]

Actually they keep Gasol so its even more dangerous!

Orlando got back crap so i have no idea how the league allowed it to go through

[J Falk]

How is LA not over the max cap by millions of dollars? The NBA is so shady
