Hasheem Thabeet asajiliwa Detroit Pistons

[Candid Scope]

Pistons sign Hasheem Thabeet, according to report

Hasheem Thabeet played in Oklahoma City the past two seasons, but we use the word "played" here very loosely.
The wiry 7'3″ center wasn't much more than a big body to plug in for some very occasional minutes, and amassed just 27 points and 40 rebounds in total over 23 regular season appearances with the Thunder last year.

You can't teach size, as the saying goes, and seven-footers will continue to get serious looks from NBA teams until they have proven to be completely useless more than once. Thabeet isn't quite there yet, and has received the most basic of chances to catch on somewhere else.

From Marc Stein of ESPN.com:

ESPN sources say Pistons are signing Hasheem Thabeet to non-guaranteed deal to give him a shot to make their team in training camp
​

The Pistons are loaded with size, and have more than 15 players signed to guaranteed contracts for next season. Thabeet doesn't appear to be someone who should find himself out of the league entirely just yet, but the fit in Detroit doesn't appear to be a great one, at least on the surface.

Thabeet has played for four NBA teams in his five professional seasons, and holds career averages of 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds per contest.

[Kozo Okamoto]

dah hako ndo kamshahara au mimacho yangu ndo aioni vizuri?anyway,big up hashem

 

[Candid Scope]

Hongera zake..

Hajitumi, anacheza kama mchezaji wa ridhaa wakati ni michezaji wa kulipwa, anategemea hisani katika nchi za kibepari hili haliji lazima ajitume.

 

[Candid Scope]

duh, hivi kumbe alikuwa bado hajafika mbali?!

Kadiri ya maelezo awe akini maana hapo akiendelea na ubabaishaji huo ajue kila mwaka wanaibuka wapya katika NBA draft asishangae akiwekwa kando kupisha wanaochipukia na kujituma.

 

[Candid Scope]

dah hako ndo kamshahara au mimacho yangu ndo aioni vizuri?anyway,big up hashem

Ukweli timu alizokuwa nazo ya Memphis na Oklahoma ni kiatu size kubwa mno kwake, huenda huko atapata namba lakini naona kwenye kikosi cha kwanza na cha pili hayumo, amesajiriwa kwa ajili ya kukamilisha safu ya mazoezi zaidi kadiri ya maelezo ya usajiri na si mchezaji wa kutegemewa katika kucheza ligi.

 

[Lukansola]

Huu mshahara ni kwa wiki, mwezi, au mwaka?

 

[Twilumba]

Candid Scope, hzo $1,200,000 ni salary ya muda gani, ni weekly, monthly au the whole season?

 

[Salamander]

dah hako ndo kamshahara au mimacho yangu ndo aioni vizuri?anyway,big up hashem

Acha masihara wewe, 1.2 millions unasema kamshahara?

 

[Nguruvi3]

Yaani pesa anazolipwa sasa hivi ni hisani tu, na sijui kama atarudi tena,.

Amepewa nafasi nyingi na zote hajazitumia vema. It's over unfortunate

 

[Salamander]

Hakuna noma, hata akirudi kesho ashapiga hela ya kutosha.

 

[Bavaria]

Acha masihara wewe, 1.2 millions unasema kamshahara?

Kwa level za NBA ni kamshahara ndio.

 

[Zogwale]

Last card. Kama hajitumi atarudi benz na wameweka wazi. Kama anaendekeza uvivu wa kibongo soon itakula kwake. Hivi ameshanunua hata nyumba huko au ni matanuzi tuu?

 

[Candid Scope]

Candid Scope, hzo $1,200,000 ni salary ya muda gani, ni weekly, monthly au the whole season?

HIyo huwa ni kwa mwaka mzima yaani whole season.

 

[Bavaria]

Hasheem arudi bongo tu akawe judge wa BSS. Kikapu kimemshinda.

 

[Bavaria]

Last card. Kama hajitumi atarudi benz na wameweka wazi. Kama anaendekeza uvivu wa kibongo soon itakula kwake. Hivi ameshanunua hata nyumba huko au ni matanuzi tuu?

Unaweza kukuta anaishi kwenye hostel za team.

 

[gynakoku]

Duuuh! ni kwel hyo salary ni ndogo

 

[Candid Scope]

Yaani pesa anazolipwa sasa hivi ni hisani tu, na sijui kama atarudi tena,.

Amepewa nafasi nyingi na zote hajazitumia vema. It's over unfortunate

You are very right Nguruvi. Pesa anazolipwa sasa ukweli ni hisani kutokana na utaratibu wa kwamba vigumu kuteremsha pato lake kutokana na pato alilokuwa analipwa awali. Kumbuka kuwa kiwango hicho ndicho alichopangiwa awali wakati anapata contract ya kucheza Memphis baada ya NBA draft pale New York. Angejitutumia na kukazi nyuzi za buti zake leo angekuwa ameshapanda hadi kufikia zaidi ya 5 million kwa mwaka, lakini anapiga danadana pale pale.

Ukiangalia katika takwimu za wachezaji hayupo hata kwenye list ya substitute, maana mchezaji wa kiwango huingizwa kwenye list ya akiba ya kubadilisha kwa maana kwamba kila position kwa NBA huwa na wachezaji wawili. Yeye yupo kwenye list ya wachezaji wa kukamilisha safu ya mazoezi kadiri ya taarifa ya usajiri wake.

Hivyo basi hiyo ni karata yake ya mwisho asipo ichanga vizuri atarudi bongo kuwa cocha wa basket ball, amepata uzoefu wa kutosha hata kama mpira kwa yeye mwenyewe haupandi.

 

[kadoda11]

HIyo huwa ni kwa mwaka mzima yaani whole season.

hakika kwa huko mbele hiyo ni pesa kiduchu.
