Official Arsalan Kazemi Rips Pac-12 a New One Thread

[Farhad-7]

Due to time differences, I missed the NBA drafts and going through this thread page by page from the start of the draft made me nervous as shit and finally he got picked by the Wizards. Good that he got traded to Sixers though, he's more likely to be a regular there and have couple good seasons there to develop him.

screw the blazers, they are REALLY going to regret not picking arsalan. Those clowns also had the chance to pick Jordan and Durant if I'm not mistaken. Fvckin idiots

Ak was very disappointed that they passed up on him. Idiots!

Btw, wouldn't a 30 for 30 on ak's life be an amazing movie? From isfahan to the NBA

Wizards trade their rights to Kazemi to the 76ers for Glen Rice Jr.

Hahaha I know (knew) glen rice jr very well and lets just say I cant really rave about him the way persianbruin talks about arsalan. Personality wise he is exactly the opposite. Everyone on the GT basketball team hated him, and he has a a ton of off court problems (he likes pretending hes a gangsta even though his dad is a multimillionaire). Really im shocked that Wash would get rid of a guy like arsalan for him on considering what just happened with Aaron Hernandez and the Wizards own history of gun issues.

Who knows, maybe hes changed. Also he is pretty good



Anyway, 76ers D league affiliate is the Delaware 87ers, a team they just created. Expect to see arsalan spend a lot of time there. I think if he can add corner 3s to his game he will have a good career in the league eventually.


Last thing, this was posted earlier, in case anyone missed it, must read:

Per DE:

11:19 UPDATED RUMOR: The Philadelphia 76ers will trade the #35 pick, Glen Rice Jr., to the Washington Wizards for Nate Wolters (#38) + #54.

I think he's going to spend a considerable amount of time next year in the D-League. Which might be a good thing.

Congratulations to him.

PB jan, tell him we all love him on this website.

On Facebook if you comment on his stuff he responds and likes your posts...such a humble and polite person.

last night we witnessed a historic event, now he has one foot thru the door, it is his time to shine in the practice and get a contract.


on the other hand, HH is screwed big time, Suns picked up a young 7'2 center, which means they have no hope in HH at least as their future is concerned the best he can do is to be a back up again!!!

They have him on here as an SF, but they only have one PF on the entire squad

I'm not into basketball but did he get into a good team?

[EKBATAN]

Why D league ??

Im sure he will impress in summer camp and will be playing next year. Hes a unique player and has good IQ of the game. The coach will recognize that.

hard to tell, they changed their team a lot from last year
they are in the east, so they might get a low playoff spot

[Hosseini]

No way he's going to the d league, the sixers need some quality big men rebounders on the team.
