MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Memphis Grizzlies exercised the fourth-year contract options on guard O.J. Mayo and forward Darrell Arthur and the third-year option on center Hasheem Thabeet, Grizzlies General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Wallace announced today. All three players are now guaranteed through the 2011-12 season.
Mayo, the third overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, holds career averages of 17.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 38.0 minutes in 165 games (all starts). The 6-4, 210-pound guard posted 17.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 37.9 minutes last season, and was the only Grizzlies player to start and play in every game.
The 22-year-old, who has yet to miss a game in his NBA career, entered the 2010-11 season with more minutes logged (6,234) than any other NBA player in the last two seasons aside from Philadelphias Andre Iguodala.
Arthur, who missed most of his sophomore season due to right pectoralis surgery, bounced back this preseason to average 11.1 points (4th on the team) and 6.3 rebounds (2nd) in 24.9 minutes in eight games. The 6-9, 235-pound forward, who stepped into the starting lineup last night and scored a career-high 19 points in the Grizzlies regular season opener vs. Atlanta, has posted 5.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 17.9 minutes in 109 games (66 starts) with the Grizzlies, who acquired his draft rights (27th overall) during the 2008 NBA Draft. A key member of the 2008 NCAA Champion Kansas Jayhawks, the 22-year-old recorded 4.5 points and 3.4 rebounds in 14.3 minutes in 32 games last season.
Thabeet, the second overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, ranked second among rookies in blocks (1.31) while averaging 3.1 points and 3.6 rebounds in 13.0 minutes in 68 games (13 starts) last season. The 7-3, 267-pound center led all NBA players (min. 60 games) in blocks per 48 minutes (4.84). The 23-year-old, who was named the 2009 Co-Big East Player of the Year (along with current San Antonio Spurs forward DeJuan Blair) in his third and final season at Connecticut, is the first Tanzanian-born player to play in the NBA.
The Grizzlies (0-1) will look to bounce back from last nights opening night defeat, as they travel to Dallas to play the Mavericks at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow night at the American Airlines Center. The game will be televised locally on SportSouth HD.

Leo wanakipiga na Magic, Superman & co..dogo anarukaruka tu..
we jamaa umenichekesha,dogo asipende sana kurudi bongo
halafu hizo contracts zina a clause kwamba zinaweza kuwa terminated anytime kwahiyo hazitoi security hata kidogoHii source yako ni ya zamani ndugu, kwa sasa dogo game imemkataa kabisa na kiwango kinazidi kushuka, ana 1.2 points per game, 1.7 rebounds per game na 0.7 blocks per game which ni kidogo sana ukilinganisha na mshahara wa 4,793,280 US dollars anazolipwa msimu huu. Kapata guarantee ya msimu ujao ambao ni wa mwisho kwake kwa kuwa kama grizlies wasingemguarantee angekuwa ktk position ya kuanza kutafuta timu wkt wao hawajapata return waliyoitarajia toka kwake. Kwa maana hiyo upo uwezekano mkubwa wa yeye kuanchwa baada ya msimu ujao au akauzwa katikati au mwishoni mwa msimu huu akajaribu kwingine. Kumbuka alitaka kuuzwa katikati ya msimu uliopita ktk exchange deal ikashindikana. Na kuna mechi msimu huu alizomewa na mashabiki baada ya kumiss obvious dunk akatoka bila point na timu ikafungwa.
News: Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said Thabeet did not play Monday against the Suns because of the opponent's smaller lineup, the Memphis Flyer reports.
Spin: It looks like it's safe to assume Thabeet will re-join the rotation when the Grizzlies take on the Mavs on Wednesday. Unfortunately, Thabeet has not performed well when active thus far (a total of nine points and 15 rebounds through seven games).
Reading the online articles it seems like his only saving grace ni kwamba watu wa Griz wana hope against hope kwamba Hasheem ata turn around. Tatizo la kuanza michezo ya wenzetu ukubwani.
Halafu kuna sehemu jamaa wamebonda mpaka habari zake za off court kupigana pigana na kina TID, kama nilivyokwishasema hapa in the past. Inaharibu, inaonekana si kwamba tu mtu huna uwezo, bali pia huna hata dedication na discipline.
Nilikuwa naangalia game ya Memphis na Portland, na nimegundua kwamba tatizo halipo kwa Hasheem peke yake. Kacheza dakika chache, na alikuwa anarebound vizuri kwa muda wote.
Tatizo nilioliona mimi ni bench, benchi ndiyo inayommaliza. Kacheza kwa muda mfupi sana ukilinganisha na vile alivyokuwa anarebound vizuri. Halafu huyu Kocha ni African American, inaonekana HANA respect sana na wachezaji kutoka Africa. Kama ingekuwa kocha mzungu angekuwa anamtendea haki, kama vile alivyokuwa U-Conn.
Namshauri Hasheem ahame hii Memphis, aende Oklahoma, NO, NJN. Sehemu ambazo hamna wachezaji wenye Ego, kama wachezaji wa Memphis, Randolf, Gasol, Rudy Gay.
Good Luck, HT.
Hizo habari za kumbonda TID wameziandika wapi ? Ina maana jamaa wamejua hilo?
Memphis Grizzly Hasheem Thabeet: Is It Already Too Late? | Bleacher ReportNot only did he have a shaky rookie season, Hasheem "The Dream" was also involved in an altercation with R&B singer T.I.D. According to reports, Thabeet punched the singer in the face, knocking him unconscious.
Apparently, when T.I.D woke up, his cell phone was missing and the singer went to the police station to file a case against Thabeet. Was this the beginning of a tumultuous stay in Memphis? Who knows?
