by: Paul Miles

According to Yahoo, NBA teams are now free to negotiate with Hamed Ehadadi (Haddadi?). Ehadadi is a Iran's sevenfooter who was embargoed by the NBA last week due to laws prohibiting American companies from entering into deals with Iranian nationals.

An email sent to all 30 franchises notified them that Ehadadi and teammate Mohammadsamad Nik Khahbahrami. Pitty the equipment manager that has to sew that name on a jersey.

Ehadadi in the Tehran Times:

I will undoubtedly join Memphis Grizzlies by the end of next week. I met Memphis’ officials yesterday to discuss joining the team.

Khahbahrami, who goes by the much more manageable Samad Nikkhah Bahrami is a 6'7" small forward and Ehadadi's teammate on Sama Battery BC in Iran. Bahrami is the Iranian national team captain and brother of recently deceased teammember Aidin Nekkhah Bahrami. There are no rumors on what teams are interested in Bahrami.
