He is in Iran probably doing nothing, can't play basketball (for any other team but Niroo Zamini) , can't leave the country, just wasting time.Originally posted by Team e Mardom View PostComment

Unfortunately, a stretch/ undersized 4 (power forward), without a jumpshot is pretty useless in today's NBA.
To think - Kazemi came to Golden State's training camp (before draft) with Draymond Green ...Comment

The sad truth. If he played during the 90's or early 2000's he would easily find a team...Originally posted by Tehranto View Post"Formerly known as AliDaeiClone"Comment

i still dont understand the sarbazi issues with Athletes in Iran. Cant people just buy this off ?
AK has a shot to join a summer league again this summer but he HAS to show himself really good this time and take shots, be more aggressive and offensive. Teams are open to players coming and trying out but to get picked by a team you need to stand out more than ever now. He will be 25/26 so teams will be hesitant to pick him up if he doesnt show his offensive game.
BUT there is another issue too.... NBA is not guaranteed, so if by summer a big contract from china or elsewhere comes for him then he will take that contract instead of hoping for NBA. Because truth is he has bills to pay like rest of us and cant wait around til september for an NBA team to give him a contract.
He still has some chances, but really needs to start shooting or doing something offensively otherwise he wont get noticed no matter how many rebs, steals or great defense he displays.Comment

I looked at the Box Score of the team he signed with in Iran and it doesn't seem like he has played a single minute This year.Originally posted by persian-eagle-13 View Post
Either he is injured or he is done with basketball...

He cant play due to some law (eligibility) and sarbazi. He was promised it would be taken care of before he signed but you know how Irooni promises go sometimes. He's basically stuck and cant play. He practices alone probably.Originally posted by The View PostI looked at the Box Score of the team he signed with in Iran and it doesn't seem like he has played a single minute This year.

That's so dumb.Originally posted by EKBATAN View Post
Dumb on Iran to waste their best talent like this. Dumb on Arsalan to go back to Iran. I have hard time believing he didn't have any offers from China.
Poor guy, I hope he has some interest from NBA teams this summer and is allowed to leave Iran.
BTW, I don't know if you guys are aware but Haddadi is shitting on the Chinese basketball league. The guy is putting up monster numbers right now. It's a shame the NBA is going small ball because Hamed should be at least back-up somewhere in the NBA. Michael Beasly left the CBA and signed with the Rockets right after his team got eliminated, so there might be a chance for Hamed, but very unlikely.Last edited by The; 03-17-2016, 06:59 AM.Comment

I dont know why he trusted these Irooni people promising him bs. Chinese league had already started by the time he was done with the Rockets preseason so it was too late to get a contract. They might offer him something this summer which could affect whether he'll pursue NBA summer league or not. Im sure a few teams would let him join their summer league and get a shot but it depends on how tempting the chinese offers could be.Originally posted by The View Post
Haddadi could play in NBA but unfortunately i dont think he's hungry enough and he didnt bother to learn the language. Most of his problems in NBA steamed from communication. He couldnt understand some plays or things he needs to do on the court. So the coaches didnt have confidence in him.Comment

Haddadi had 3 problems
1- bad agent
2- partied way too much. Got divorced the first year he was in the states. Fully embraced the NBA lifestyle in that sense.
3- too goshad to put in extra hard work. If you're foreign and in the NBA you're expected to practice more and have really good basketball IQ.

its not Iran wasting his talents. It's just couple people in charge holding a grudge. Well only one of them is holding a grudge and the other one his puppet. So worried about himOriginally posted by The View Post
P.S. He did have china offers but he declined them to give NBA a shot.----1990 TM, You will always have a special place in our hearts
