Arvydas Sabonis had a similar problem back in the day
It seems like nobody could talk to him even if they wanted to.

Too bad guys not a bad player and at 23 he could develop into a nice rotation type big man.
damnit, i guess we got the hands-off rule
I wouldn't be too surprised if the Spurs are interested. The Spurs heavily scout international compe ions so they might see something they like. Don't think he'll be much of a player but it'd be nice to have at least one seven-footer on the team.
Latest news on this guy is that the NBA has forbidden any NBA teams to negotiate a contract with him? Don't know why? I guess they think he is a terrorist or something?
Because it's a federal law for any person (or business - NBA team) to do any business with Iranian nationals. The League has applied for a special license from the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control. But until it's granted, no one can talk to him/sign him.Latest news on this guy is that the NBA has forbidden any NBA teams to negotiate a contract with him? Don't know why?

Kori answered it, if you want to read more there's also an article about it that Mr. Bottomtooth posted.

http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archiv...ning_grizzles/Iran's Hamed Hadadi claims that he will become a member of the Memphis Grizzles by the end of the week, despite a statement by the NBA that teams may not negotiate with the center, according to Payvand.
"I will undoubtedly join Memphis Grizzlies by the end of next week. I met Memphis' officials yesterday to discuss joining the team," Hadadi said.
"I received many offers from European teams but just playing in the NBA is my dream," he added. "Hopefully, I can join Memphis as soon as possible without any problem."
However, the NBA's legal counsel has maintained that teams are not allowed to discuss business with Iranian nationals.
"It has come to our attention that representatives of Hamed Hadadi, an Iranian basketball player, may be contacting NBA teams to discuss the possibility of signing Mr. Hadadi to an NBA player contract. We have been advised that a federal statute prohibits a person or organization in the United States from engaging in business dealings with Iranian nationals," the counsel said.
Memphis cheating again.
Didn't know the Iranians knew what the basketball even was.

Mohammadsamad Nikkhah, another iranian player, signed in Cholet, France.
