Does anyone think NBA teams will sign any Iranian players?

According to this link (http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/basketball/news;_ylt=AomJym8Uo6rYnAeHgk11n0OVTZd4?slug=aw-nbairanianplayers082008&prov=yhoo&type=lgns) Hamed Ehadadi and Mohammadsamad Nik Khahbahrami are free to sign.

Understand that politics and sports should not mix, in fact sports should transcend all political matters. Will it be good PR for a team to sign an Iranian? Should they be of Islamic faith, I don't think it will matter as the NBA have had many players who practice Islam.

Thought provoking thoughts?

Wassup my nikkah!

Speaking of whom, he might be able to sign with an NBL team.

Hadadi is essentially signed, sealed and delivered to Grizzlies. He could be serviceable after some rigourous pre-season work.
