I would rather sign a young player. Haddadi works for me.
Me too. 7-2 is great for me.
Is Toronto likely to waive him?
I'd read that Haddadi has visa issues that prevent him from entering Canada. However, Colangelo views him as a trade chip, and would probably waive him only as a last resort.
Haddadi will be 28 by the time the playoffs roll around. This doesn't qualify as young in my book.
That aside from the fact that he can't really play.
I want KMart but would def take on Haddadi as well.
The thing is there aren't any options that are better and they are both better than Collins I don't even think there is an arguement.
Haddadi may be 28 but thats still young especially when you consider that he basically had never been to the US, couldn't speak a word of english and had was taught to play in the Iranian professional league.
At the very least he can rebound, block shots, and set good picks which is better than Collins.
I just think we needed bigs before Sully (who barely classifies as a big) went down. Now we need minimum 1 or 2 bigs and I don't know where we are going to get them.
I guess we'll see who gets bought out but I'm thinking Haddadi will be a better option than some other 35 year old Collins equivalent who has "veteran experience".
