Arsalan Kazemi @ Philadelphia 76ers

[Ghermez Agha]

how do you think he feels!? He is a prisoner. He is one of the most efficient people I have ever seen in my life. When I am in town and not traveling for work we usually spend about 2 hours day together on average if not more.
If he needs to get something done he gets it DONE asap and with full efficiency. I envy his work ethic and precision which is the same formula that ha made him successful on the court.

I cannot Talk about his personal life. But the things got done the last few months by him I still cannot believe it. That in mind, he always says, "If I need to get something done, I get it done which is why I HATE when things are out of my control because there is nothing I can do about it".
His NBA stuation, I am gonna repeat one more time, is OUT OF HIS CONTROL. He is a prisoner by the sixers and is hoping they do right by him this year. All I am tell you is that he is taking the necessary steps and it is "my" person belief that this is they year based on some details that again I cannot talk about. Again that is my opinion but it is an educated guess based on stuff I know. We have to patient. Time will tell. One more month.

being that the chances of him signing with the 6ers, do you think they will finally release him at the end of the summer league season? and also what do you think the chances of him signing with another NBA team are.....has he been in contact/do you think there are still interested teams out there after having been playing pro ball in iran for a year or two?

persianbruin, tell Arsalan we're all rooting for him and we hope he gets to play in the NBA as he wishes.

i already did. He thanks you all. Also he has started practice with the team and everything is going smoothly.

if you are asking me, my personal opinion is that 95% he will be signed by the sixers and I don't think he will be released cuz there was already interest in him so I think he would trade his rights but if he releases him he wil definitely make it on some other team. You ask me where ? My personal opinion is The spurs but again these are all my very own opinions and not what he or someone else might think

he will only play 2-3 games there so make sure he is on the roster before going

[persianbruin]

I Think Arsalan's rights were traded to the Kings. I'm not sure though. Stay tuned
EDIT: I don't think he is one of those overseas players traded to the kings

^ Yup Phillies keep Arsalan Kazemi and instead give rights of Arturas Gudaitis and Luka Mitrovic to kings. Hopefully Arsalan will do good things in the summer league.

well hopefully he will get a chance to play in NBA. that would be good to have another iranian in the league. but i still have my doubts.

[persianbruin]

ostad he is esphahani what do you expect

true! But seriously I know other esfehanis who are nowhere near as efficient as what they should be!
I gotta show him this though. Good one!

Don't know if they do. I can ask him and post it here before the game. Of course he has to know himself! Keep checking this thread next week

[persianbruin]

From his practice this morning

[jumba47]

Why don't I see Arsalan on the summer league roster on nba.com?

[persian-eagle-13]

^^that could be because there are 3 different summer leagues going on. one league after another. right now is the Orlando Summer league, then is the Las Vegas and finally Utah summer league.

I try to look to see which league he will be playing in, but the nba website does not have enough on it, or at least i could not find any info. But I believe it is the Las Vegas league which is the most popular league.
