Milicic will be traded. I definitely want to go to the game when Memphis plays LA to see all the Iranian fans go crazy :lol:

hahahahaha I'm Persian and i must say that i am impressed that a Persian finally got into the nba but i don't see much of a future for him black peoples body's are just built too strong to bounce around on a Persians. No hating i just have first hand experience.

I remember seeing at least a couple of this guy's games or so during the olympics. Looks pretty decent. I think he may survive in the NBA. My biggest concern with him is his body though. I think he's really gonna' need to bulk up more, but other than that, he's definitely got some skills.
