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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.
