Haddadi will have a salary of $1.5 million dollars this season

[Babak]

Most rookies make 200,000 to 400,000 dollars starting out in the league. That is probably why some are saying that that is too much money for him. Think about it, he played on a losing team during the Olympics (everyone knows that you don't have to be a great player to put up good stats on a bad team), and he had a little bit of experience against some summer league teams with far inferior talent.
1,500,000 is rather desperate, but maybe the Grizzlies see something in him that no one else does.

Some of you guys really like to talk out of your ass without having a clue. Most rookies make 200,000-400,000?

Go read up on your NBA knowledge a bit before you come and spread some BS nonsense around here. If I come across as an a-hole, I apologize. But there's nothing I hate more than people who just like to give opinions for the sake of hearing themselves talk, when they don't have a clue what they're talking about.

FYI, the average NBA rookie makes more than $1,000,000 per year.

he's making enough money, but his performance in the NBA is still yet to be averaged to his income.

if he does as well as a lot of centeres in the NBA like Howard or Shaq in terms of defensive work, I think he can earn even more because he dominated in the Olympics.

[persianbruin]

to the people who say he is makin a lot you are so wrong!!

I remember Jim mcilvain (dont know the right spelling) got signed by the sonics for 7 mill a year and haddadi is better than him!!!

[Shamim]

Nice lets hope he is not the last Iranian in NBA.

[EKBATAN]

awesome....thats a great start

hopefully he spends it wisely and in the future...invest in Iran's basketball like Daei did for our football

[KC McElroy]

He would also like that.

[Super Shojaei]

wtf? he got number 0??????

[Armani]

I am very happy for him. Let our fellow Iranians take a lesson out of this, try hard to reach your goals. Eventually you will.
