Haddadi agreed to a deal with China's Sichuan Blue Whales, Sportando reports. |
Haddadi's last foray in the NBA was a 30 game stint in the 2012-13 season split between the Suns and Grizzlies. This will be Haddadi's second tour with the Blue Whales, enveloping a season with a different China club last year where he averaged 20.4 points, 13.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 2.3 blocks in 38 minutes per game. |

Haddadi got the first significant playing time of his career last season, averaging 13.8 minutes a night in 17 late-season appearances for the Suns.

Hamed Haddadi was named MVP of the FIBA Asia tournament on Sunday after leading Iran to the championship. |
A Knicks scout watched one of Iran's victories and suggested that New York may consider Haddadi as a minimum-contract addition to their roster. Whether or not he lands and NBA contract, he's not a fantasy asset. |

The Knicks may work out free agent C Hamed Haddadi in New York. |
Knicks scout Gary Boyson watched Haddadi and the Iranian national team romp past Jordan, saying afterward, "It's no secret there are players here with NBA experience who have no contracts yet. We have a spot or two probably." Haddadi seemed to hurt his right leg during the game but he said afterward that he's fine. The Knicks might give him a minimum contract but he won't be on fantasy radars. |

Sat Jun 29 2013 | 17:19 | Suns waive Hamed Haddadi on Saturday |
Suns waive C Hamed Haddadi. |
The move will allow the Suns to pay him $200K instead of guaranteeing a $1.4 million salary for next season. The Suns drafted center Alex Len out of Maryland and Haddadi wouldn't have been very useful behind Marcin Gortat -- another player that could be on his way out. Haddadi might have a tough time cracking any NBA rotation. |

Wed Mar 13 2013 | 09:26 | Hamed Haddadi admits he's not in shape yet |
Hamed Haddadi admitted that he's still not in basketball shape. |
"I've got to do more running, more stuff," he said. "I need a couple more games to get in better shape." It's understandable considering Haddadi has suddenly played an important role for the Suns, but his run could be coming to an end with Jermaine O'Neal (personal) set to return on Wednesday. |

Tue Mar 12 2013 | 01:02 | Haddadi goes for 13 and eight w/ stl, 2 blks |
Hamed Haddadi scored a career-high 13 points on 4-of-7 shooting (5-of-5 FTs) with eight rebounds, one steal and two blocks in 18 minutes off the bench on Monday against the Nuggets. |
Haddadi has shown he can put up serviceable numbers when given the minutes and it's entirely possible he gets minutes with just injury prone Jermaine O'Neal available as a real big man for the Suns. Owners needing a big man in standard formats can consider an add, and if he does it again with O'Neal back on Wednesday then he'll become a recommended pickup. |

Sun Mar 10 2013 | 00:22 | Hamed Haddadi plays career-high 28 minutes |
Hamed Haddadi played a career-high 28 minutes off the Suns' bench on Saturday, scoring six points with 11 rebounds, one steal and three blocks. |
Haddadi's energy and rebounding was a huge reason the Suns beat the Rockets tonight, even if he did miss all four of his free throws. He's likely to play substantial minutes as long as Marcin Gortat (foot) and Jermaine O'Neal (personal) are unavailable, but we'd only recommend him as a blocks specialist in deep leagues. |

Wed Mar 6 2013 | 19:55 | Hamed Haddadi will be active on Wednesday |
Hamed Haddadi will be active against the Raptors on Wednesday. |
The Suns are going to need all the help they can get at center with Jermaine O'Neal (personal) out of the lineup. Luis Scola and Markieff Morris should also pick up some minutes at center, so there's no reason to pick up Haddadi in any league. |

Mon Feb 25 2013 | 09:54 | Hamed Haddadi woefully out of shape |
Hamed Haddadi is not in basketball shape after never reporting to the Raptors when he was traded as part of the Rudy Gay trade. |
Haddadi, now with the Suns, will need some time before he's back into game shape. However, he does appear happy to be in Phoenix now. "there are a lot of Persians in Phoenix, and I got a lot of messages that they support me," he said. |

Thu Feb 21 2013 | 11:46 | Report: Haddadi, pick for Telfair possible |
"Rumbles persist" that Hamed Haddadi and a second-round pick will likely be sent to the Suns for Sebastian Telfair. |
It's a trade that helps both teams with their depth issues but does nothing to excite fans or fantasy owners. If it goes down, neither guy is worth owning in fantasy leagues. |

Thu Jan 31 2013 | 18:01 | Colangelo unsure if Haddadi will be waived |
Bryan Colangelo said Thursday he's uncertain if new addition Hamed Haddadi will be waived. |
Haddadi was acquired along with Rudy Gay as part of three-team trade that sent Jose Calderon to the Pistons and Tayshaun Prince to the Grizzlies. There were reports Haddadi would be bought out in part due to his visa issues, but even if he sticks in Toronto, he'll only have minimal value in very, very deep leagues. |

Hamed Haddadi was traded to the Raptors in Wednesday's trade. |
He scored a grand total of 15 points in 87 minutes in his season with Memphis. He'll gain some value and compete with Aaron Gray for minutes, but we're talking about very, very deep leagues here. |

Terms of the deal haven't been disclosed, but it's expected to be a multi-year deal for around the veteran's minimum. Haddadi has played for Memphis throughout his four-year NBA career, providing good size and depth at the center position, but he's never been a fantasy consideration. |
