Default Iranian Center up for grabs

Could this be the Maverick's chance to get a decent back up center and involve Diop and Dampier in some kind of potential blockbuster trade??

http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/bei...yhoo&type=lgns

Quote:
BEIJING – After receiving U.S. government approval, Iranian center Hamed Ehadadi has been cleared to sign with NBA teams, Yahoo! Sports has learned.

The NBA sent out an email to executives late Wednesday afternoon informing its 30 teams they were free to enter into negotiations with the 7-foot-2 Iranian Olympian, as well as one of his teammates on Iran’s national team: guard Mohammadsamad Nik Khahbahrami.

Just five days ago, the NBA had informed its general managers that they were forbidden to enter into negotiations with Ehadadi, pending a license from the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control. The license was granted and Ehadadi, 23, who averaged 16 points and 10 rebounds for winless Iran in Beijing, is a free agent.

On Friday, the NBA had told its teams, “We have been advised that a federal statue prohibits a person or organization in the United States from engaging in business dealings with Iranian nationals.”

Even with the clearance, the NBA ordered its teams Wednesday to contact the league office before signing either player to a contract because the OFAC license still “restricts the manner in which any financial payments can be made.” Teams also were urged to keep all documents related to any negotiations.

Several league executives believe the Memphis Grizzlies are the most likely to sign Ehadadi, who wasn’t chosen in the 2004 NBA Draft.

Commissioner David Stern invited the Iranian national team to compete in July’s NBA summer league in Utah, allowing the team a pre-Olympics tune-up. When NBA teams started to show an interest in signing Ehadadi, Stern had league counsel begin the process of clearing a path through this complicated circumstance with the U.S. State Department.

After his most impressive game of these Olympics – 21 points and 16 rebounds in a 97-82 loss to Argentina – Ehadadi, a center, said through an assistant coach, Mehran Hatami, “It is my dream to play in the NBA.”

Does he have any talents aside from being 7'2"?

Do you count possibly being fluent in multiple languages as being a talent?

It didn't take them long to change that stance on not being able to get in contact with him.

I'm Iranian!

I haven't watched this guy play, but I'm pretty sure he's a tall stiff and nothing more. maybe a serviceable THIRD big man, but acquiring him and trading either DIop/Damp would be bad.

Supposedly Yao Ming is an all world NBA Center...so how does Khahbhrami's numbers compare in the Olympics to Ming's?

At 7'2" with some impressive Olympic stats and only 23 years of age...I'ld be willing to take a look at the guy.

If anything else, he would give knew meaning to blowing up the middle of the lane...

I don't want him, probably just another Pavel as another person has said. We have a nice center tandem, we don't need to make any changes in that department people!

From what I've seen of him he's probably good enough to fight for a back up position. He has potential to be a decent player. I wouldn't mind bringing him on but I wouldn't be ecstatic.

I think deepening the frontcourt is more important that signing all of these guards that will never see any minutes.

My guess is there is only a buzz about this guy because of his brief ban from U.S. employment. But he did put up decent numbers at the Olympics, so a try-out couldn't hurt.

if you can get him for that price...it's definitely worth looking into. If you can, bring him in and work him out. Let Carlisle try to pick his brain and get a sense of what the man can do.

DJ in Carlisle's system might work. Heck Big Ben was an all-star in his system, and he has 0 offensive capability.
