Fantasy Alert: Gilbert Arenas

Quick hit here, it looks like Agent Zero is going to be Agent Suspended. A reliable source told me he's hearing 25 games, and possibly just the rest of the season. I tweeted about this as soon as I heard, I hope that anyone with him and who caught the Tweet was able to react. I know many of you questioned me about this over the last couple days, and I didn't have any good answers for you.

You were kind of like a patient who is terminally ill asking the Doctor if there's anyway to be saved.

Look the quick and obvious add here is Randy Foye, who could be a decent substitute stepping in. He was OK as a fantasy player in Minnesota. All is not lost, have faith and be smart and we'll get through this.

You WILL still win your league DESPITE this setback!

  3. Miller, without a doubt. But if you have room add both. If all this turns out to be true, I fully expect them to use it as an excuse to part ways with Gil and hand the reigns to Foye. He's young and capable.

    Jawn, unless I missed something about the sessions/Flynn situation, it's def Foye.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Both Foye and Miller are on the wire in my league! Who would you recommended I pick up (or even both?) and who do you think I should drop?

    My roster, with rank scores:

    PG - Jason Kidd (8.32)
    SG - Tyreke Evans (1.98)
    G - Derrick Rose (1.39)
    SF - LeBron James (11.05)
    PF - David West (3.84)
    F - Andrea Bargnani (4.56)
    C - Marc Gasol (5.38)
    C - Kevin Love (5.15)
    Util - J.R. Smith (2.90)
    Util - Brandon Jennings (2.38)
    BN - Danilo Gallinari (4.38)
    BN - Stephen Curry (2.31)
    BN - Blake Griffin

  5. ...just making sure, as i know SHAQ hasn't been good on any of my squads except the one where i'm currently equal 1st, but i guess i got quite a few BIGs to cover ...no worries, heres hoping FOYE can help A.I. in my team LOL...

    ReplyDelete
  6. Thief, what do you make of Omri Casspi? He was a high draft pick and his numbers are decent. Do you think he has fantasy value and is he worth keeping if I have him, or should I try to get Foye.

    ReplyDelete
  7. ...another question, i don't think i've sent it? ?

    what you think... trade offered to me GRIIFIN for my ODOM...? ?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Hey thief, should i try to sell gilbert now for anyone i can get? Would a durant and gil for someone like cp3 or lebron trade be good for me? thanks

    ReplyDelete
  9. OK, I think I'll grab Miller, dropping Stephen Curry...

    But do you think I should also pick up Randy Foye? The problem is I don't think I have roster space for him :(

    And don't tell me I should try a 2-1, cause I already have 6 (!) proposals out there (the maximum number of pending trades allowed) and 5 of those are 2-1, but none of the other GM-s seems to care to respond! ;( It's really frustrating >_<

  11. i just gave away arenas+granger for chris paul and grant hill. what do you think?>

    ReplyDelete
  12. Jawn, while Pau is out, Odom's value should rise, we can time dealing him a little better.

    BigLil, tough, Omri is producing well right now, I don't think i'd cut bait just yet.

    Christo, Miller should be good for now.

    Erik, WOW!! NICE DEAL!! STRAIGHT THIEVIN EM BRO! You need to give Mark ^^ some tips on how ya did that, that's awesome!

    Dip, I will never condone dealing CP3. I think you need to read my old post 'So How Good is Chris Paul'...

    ReplyDelete
  13. TWO UPDATES:

    1> Under ESPN Rumors you can see where the call of 25 games is coming from. Also it appears Al Sharpton is coming out against Gil. DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.

    2> The Miami Heat are making a play for Rafer Alston, chances are he's available. If you're looking at guys like Courtney Lee, CDR and whatnot on the WW, move Alston up the list!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Thief GREAT F...ING WORK with the new SSC!!! So I was able to swing Gallinari for Bargnani, was that a steal or what?

    12 Team H2H weekly line ups.

    My team:

    Brandon Roy
    Joe Johnson
    Derrick Rose
    Nate Robinson
    Richard Hamilton
    Ron Artest
    Andrea Barganani
    Chris Bosh
    Roy Hibbert
    Yi Jianlian
    Al Horford

    Bench: Thaddeus Young, Andre Miller

    Over/Under.
    FG%: -257
    FT%: 0.155
    PPG: 0.231
    RPG: -0.195
    APG: -0.244
    SPG: -0.740
    TO's: -0.227
    3PG: -0.225
    BPG: -0.231

    As you can see my SS is still not very impressing. What should I do Thief, how can I help this team become a little more competitive, there's this one very active manager in my league who likes Brandon Roy a lot, obviously he's not the player you look to trade but I'm still at the bottom of the standings and running out of time, he's been sending me non-stop offers for him non worth looking at, if I was to offer Roy, who should I be asking for or should I just hang tight and look to target other players, here is his team.

    Wade, ABrooks, RLewis, TParker, Morrow, Maggette, Noah, Perkins, Bynum, JHoward, Bayless and Kevin Martin.

    Thanks Thief!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Carlos, thanks dawg. For starters I'd have Miller in there instead of Nate. Then I'd try for Kevin Martin, maybe Yi and Thad?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Thanks man! Will give it shot.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hey thief he turned down the josh smith w chandler and ariza for kidd noah and west, now what? he didnt counter

    ReplyDelete
  18. Thief,

    Do you like Omri Caspri or Yi yianlian. I have a spot on my roster, and I'm looking for a somewhat speculative play.

    I think that I eventually need to land a 3PM, if Yi stays strong, I might be able to include him in a deal, 2:1 to get someone. I'm set in rebounds right now, and I'm trying to increase my FG%. However, if the trend continues, I'll be saying goodbye to my dominance in FT%, and potentially fall into mediocrity.

    Here's my roster:

    Duhon
    Durant
    Gay
    Josh Smith
    Bargnani
    Paul
    D Lee
    Love
    Frye
    Horford

    Bench:
    Nelson
    Iverson
    Jianlian

    Here's my sauce:
    FG .486
    FT .783
    PPG 16.486
    RPG 7.141
    APG 3.486
    SPG 1.163
    3PG .898
    BPG .832

    10 Team Roto, no TOs.

    Keep in mind my team has been in flux until the last 2 weeks. I have been sitting at .810 FT% most of the season, and I am dropping every day.

    Thanks for the look-see

    ReplyDelete
  19. dip, I think you're anxious to move J-Rich cheap. That all said, this is the best offer you've shown me.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Dan, what's the deal, I thought he wanted Smith? Shoot him an email and be like WTF Mate?

    Meat, I'd prefer YI and if you wanna fix the FT, move Smith...

    ReplyDelete
  21. you i feel i thief, paul is a rock. but all the trades i showed yo, didnt include this man.
    what if i sent paul and j rich
    for
    jennnings and lebron

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hey Thief,

    My roster consists of:

    Paul, Nelson, Andre Miller, Terry, Courtney Lee, Mike Miller, Durant, Hedo, Granger, Murphy, Horford, Haywood and Dampier.

    Should I drop anyone to pick up Foye?

    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hey Thief, cool app. I was just thinking instead of using # of teams as a variable why not use total players drafted or # of players playing? That way the spreadsheet can adapt to the many different league settings out there.

    ReplyDelete
  24. hey thief, I have one roster slot open for an add/drop. i currently have nate and may acquire another guard to replace him, but I'm not sure who would be best.
    there's foye, hinrich, and i just read about alston from you.

    ReplyDelete
  25. sleepwalkin, what's up! Yeah that's essentially what it does, account for teams and players which equals total players drafted.

    AK, courtney lee

    ReplyDelete
  26. Either Foye or Hinrich, at this point I'd go with Foye but keep an ear out to see if Hinrich is going to get dealt...

    ReplyDelete
  27. thanks, i'll drop nate and add Foye and see how he does, and keep Hinrich under my watch.

  28. UPDATE: According to TMZ, Arenas did NOT have a license for the FOUR guns he had. This is 100% against the law, SEE YA SEE YA SEE YA BYE BYE BYE

  29. hey thief,

    1)i was offered steve nash and b.jennings for my kevin love and danny granger what ya think?

    2) i was offered cp3 and wilson chandler for g-wall and bogut what ya think?

    3) who do you think is better in the long run, bosh or d.howard? keeper league cats: fgm, fg%, ftm, ft%,3ptm, 3pt%, pts, rebs, ast, blks, stls, a/t ratio.ROTO league. 16 teams

    THANKS IN ADVANCE lol.

    ReplyDelete
  30. sorry,

    4) also i was offerd my melo and calderon for lbj. could pick up either foye or miller after. which one of two you think?

    ReplyDelete
  31. hey thief,

    do you think casspi or foye is a better one to have,

    I've got casspi at the moment but can drop him for foye.

    Thanks,

  32. hi thief, i'd like to add hibbert to my team - he seems to be doing well lately. but i'm having trouble figuring out who to replace with him.

    thanks in advance!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Carlo, what no sauce bro?! 1. is good if you need dimes and don't need boards. 2. YUP we ALWAYS take CP3. 3. Howard. 4. TAKE IT!! Grab Miller too. Damn I wanna play in yo league!

    Adam, depends bro, you need boards or dimes? I don't think Omri will keep up the pace, Defenses will start gaming him sooner or later. I expect 16 4 4 from Foye.

    Vic, how much time do you have? I think Wilson Chandler could be a solid Sell High here. Add him and Granger in a 2-1 deal, ship it out for CP3, LBJ, and Dwade, see if you get any bites, then snag Hibbert. Otherwise, we'd need to see your sauce numbers so I can tell 1> if you need Roy (blocks) and 2> who you can drop (which cats you're strong in)

    ReplyDelete
  34. haha sorry bro. these were in 3 separate leagues.. so uhm took alot of time. buht you explained it PERFECTLY because i do need dimes lol THANKS

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hey Thief,

    Loving the articles.

    I've been offered Stuckey for Arenas. Should I bite?

    I'm #1 in my league (money league among friends) which is extremely competitive, with a very thin FA pool (basically just upside guys, like hinrich, foye, etc).

    The guy has been shopping stuckey for a while and I cant think of a reason why he will go down other than ben gordon possibly stealing his thunder.

    your thoughts?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hey Thief! Great work on the analyzer! Thanks!

    I know you're not the biggest Dwight fan but what do you think of this trade? This guy really wants Rondo from me.

    I GIVE: Rondo & Jamal Crawford
    I GET: Dwight

    A few FA's include: Rip, Peja, Battier, Barbosa, Josh Howards, Foye

    Ink?

    ReplyDelete
  37. also yea i read you danny granger article.. buht do you really think itll be THAT bad.. because his stats will deeply contribute if he can keep up what he had before

    ReplyDelete
  38. Thief,

    I'm wondering who to give for Joe Johnson. David Lee or Josh Smith.

    My team :
    Dwight Howard
    Chauncy Billups
    Andre Igoudala
    Mehmet Okur
    Andrea Bargnani
    Richard Jefferson
    Kendrick Perkins
    Chris Duhon
    David Lee
    Josh Smith
    John Salmons
    Tayshaun Prince
    Channing Frye

    It's a 10man/10cat/h2h league

    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  39. thief... whats your outlook on RIP? i picked him up late off the wire right before he shortly took time off again, so got 2 good games or 1 maybe from him... ALSO, just found CASSPI on the wire, would you make a drop for him or hold tight with RIP?

    ReplyDelete
  40. OMG! I was just going to drop Stephen Curry for Mike Miller and suddenly now Steph is having a monster game (20 pts, 4 treys by half-time)... And I haven't even started him tonight ;(

    So another dilemma for me now! I was hoping he would keep getting low minutes and not producing anything spectacular, so that no one else would pick him up and I could always have him as an option to get him back, if Miller went down with another of his shitty injuries... But now suddenly Nelson is keeping him in the game, the kid's producing big time and my plan is thwarted - after that kind of a game I'm sure Steph will get picked up by someone else, if I let him go now. Darn you, Nellie!

    What do you think I should do, Thief?

    ReplyDelete
  41. hey thief,is this trade great

  46. What do you think about Vince Carter? He just had a terrible game and has been average this year. Is he a good buy low candidate? I picked up Omri casspi and dropped tyrus Thomas. Is that even? I have one open roster spot pending a trade I have. Who's the better pickup? Yi jianlin, Perkins, dampier, gooden, Anthony Randolph, Charlie v, or any Pf/c. Who would you pick up that's left in your league? And what common free agent player could get me good assists? Duhon, Felton, udrih, etc. And Brandon Jennings. I don't want Jennings anymore, and although his averages are good his inconsistency kills. Is he droppable in a ten person h2h? My league is convinced he is worthless in trades but a good pick up. Opinion of Bjennings? Anyone?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Man thief thats messed up for Agent zero if he outta there like that. Damn son, no license and you holding in D.C of all places. Kiss that contract goodbye.

    With that being said, where does that place Caron Butler's future and his value to the Wizards organization? I'm an avid Bulls Fan and I was actually looking to see that move go down Butler for Hinrich.

    In addition, the Wizards would need a new PG because Earl Boykins is not going to cut it.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Secondly, did you see that statline for the kid Ty Lawson tonight? The kid is on fire out there. Is he worth a scoop-up? I know Billups is coming back soon but man.

    What's your thoughts?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Thief what kind of sick genius are you? Spreadsheet is amazing... Okay, I currently roster Conley, but with the news of G.I. Arenas possibly being gone. I was wondering who is the best replacement for Conley.
    Foye, Hinrick, or Alston? I personaly like Alston he has done well in starting roles, and also heard Hinrick may go to washington for Caron and James with other incentives.
    Whats your thoughts?

    ReplyDelete
  50. Thief, Corey Maggette is getting better and better, but I remember you said "don't fall in love with your player". So I am trying to sell him. How much he worth? Who should I go for?

    I am a good follower of yours. Remember every word you said. Lol

    ReplyDelete
  51. Thief,

    I'm trying to grab Paul from the manager who also owns Arenas. I need Rebounds, Assists, and Steals, but the updated Team Analyzer doesn't show Sauce Stats for me...

    Anyway, I have Nash/Hibbert for Paul/Bynum, thus far. Who should I throw in? The manager has refused to trade Paul all year, even when injured...

    My Team:
    Nash
    JR Smith
    S-Jax
    Battier
    Ty Thomas
    Artest
    Dampier
    Hibbert

    Hawes
    Kidd

    I do understand his team is beast. Thank you very much for your help.

  52. Yo Thief,

    Charlie V had a decent game tonight, should I trade him and Derrick Rose for Brendan Haywood and Tony Parker?

    Will his injury continue to bother him?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Hey there Thief,

    Got two questions for you:

    1) Should I drop Nate Robinson for Foye?

    2) Would this be a good trade for my team: I trade Elton Brand & Ilyasova for Brook Lopez?

    I'm not sure if the guy would go for it, but Lopez had a bad game tonight so I'm thinking of striking while it's hot.

    Here's my team and SS again:

    Chris Paul
    Nate Robinson
    Mo Williams
    Ersan Ilyasova
    Andrea Bargnani
    Gerald Wallace
    Elton Brand
    Kendrick Perkins
    Kevin Love
    Boris Diaw

    Assists: 3.09
    Boards: 6.24
    Treys: 1.05

    Do you have any other advice for my team?

  54. @ A_Stone :
    Don't bite the bait on Charlie V. Thief hit the nail right on the head when he dropped that injury info earlier. I remember Nocioni had the Plantar injury. He was never the same on the Bulls. Your best bet is definitely hang on to Rose my friend and not make a move for Parker. Definitely get more if you do decide to move Rose though. Solid big man because Rose is a beast.

    ReplyDelete
  55. So I shouldn't trade Charlie V and Rose for Parker and Haywood?

    ReplyDelete
  56. Nope. I wouldnt recommend selling rose that low right now. According to Thief's player analyzer Rose is performing at a .41 level of play. Which means that he is right at the level he needs to be. Statistically he is not buy low or buy high. He is actually a hold player. But, some managers in your league might buy him high just based on the string of 5 games he's put up solid plus 20 pt & 7-10 assists games.

    Bottom line. I'm rolling with Thief on the Charlie V situation. He will tail off again. Sell Rose high if you can for more than parker(1.59). Because I have Parker on my squad now. And he is just now starting to get out of the buy low category lately. Shoot for Westbrook(-.94) and a solid big man.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Yeah, I completely agree with Qwan... And by "a solid big man" we definitely don't mean Haywood :P

  60. Hey Thief,

    My roster consists of:

    Paul, Nelson, Andre Miller, Terry, Courtney Lee, Mike Miller, Durant, Hedo, Granger, Murphy, Horford, Haywood and Dampier.

    Sauce:
    FG%: -0.032
    FT%: 0.371
    PPG: 0.125
    RPG: 0.138
    APG: 0.077
    SPG: 0.158
    TO: -0.060
    3PG: 0.212
    BLK: 0.073

    My opponent has:
    Conley, Iguodala, Steph Curry, JR Smith, Rashard Lewis, Jamison, Brad Miller, Marc Gasol, Ryan Anderson, Taj Gibson, Bibby, Hughes and LBJ.

    I'm tryin to grab LBJ with a 2-1 or 3-2 so that I can get Foye off of waivers.

    Should I just leave my team or go for it?
    If I go for it, who should I give, I'm pretty sure he won't budge unless Durant is involved.

    Please help by giving me more than one option.
    Thanks so much.

  62. hey thief..

    1. will casspi decrease his stats when martin comes back?
    2. is cj watson enough for alston?

    thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  63. JB, yes, yes, but be sure the Miami deal goes thru before u go after Alston

    ReplyDelete
  64. Andrew, INK IT!

    Nilgan, INK IT!

    Carlo, just don't know bro, I HATE uncertainties

    Pyoon, try Tayshaun and Frye for Joe J. WE B THIEVES HERE BRO!

    Jawn, def Rip

    Christo, hold tight bro, most people are happy when one of their guys plays well. I know u can't, but SHOP HIM

    Jb, eh it's ok, nothing great

    Clint, LOVE IT

    Vic, you need a 2-1 deal, maybe like Lou and Wilson for Rondo or something, then add Ben Gordon. If he doesn't bite, you could sweeten to Wilson and rose, but that's high

    Holla, have u put your team thru the analyzer yet? I hear ya you need boards, but R U Sure? Anyway, if so, then this deal makes sense to me.

    Dip, not too shabby

    Qwan, I just don't see that Bulls Wizards deal going down. I think Foye is their PG going forward. Ty is a monster, but he's useless when Billups is healthy.

    Chuck, heh thanks, I would rank them Foye, Alston, Hinrich, because i dont see the bulls trade going down. If it does, bump hinrich way up.

    Fidel, you got no chance, Paul is his only source of dimes left.

    Mat, YES, YES, INK IT!!

    AStone, why move Rose? Try just shopping Charlie V for like Haywood.

    Qwan, dead on, good lookin out playa.

    AK, try durant, granger and dampier for LBJ and Anawn Jamison OR Iggy. Also shoot out Dampier or Haywood with Granger for GWall. Good Luck!!

    Tao, Jason Richardson

  65. hey thief..

    is it great to deal with great players that are back coming from injuries?

    examples are gomes,hamilton and calderon

    ReplyDelete
  66. will hinrich be great? will he be a 15 and 6 guy beacuse there are rumors that he will be traded to wizards?

    ReplyDelete
  67. Miller

    So long as they aren't game changing injuries.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I just don't see that deal goin down bro, makes zero sense for the bulls. Where would they put Caron? At the two? Seems like there's be a lot of league interest in hinrich, I just don't see them sending him to the Wizards.

    Either way, if he gets a starting gig somewhere, he's def a solid PG to have

    ReplyDelete
  69. hey thief, miller averages 14 a game with 1.8 treys per game in his career. i think he'll be the #3 scoring option of the wizards and his game won't be affected by injuries because he plays outside. do you think he'll be great again? thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  70. Jb, In short, yes. I def think he'll be a solid source of treys and a good fantasy starter.

  71. Thief,

    Nash averages more assists than Paul...

    ReplyDelete
  72. AND he has Jason Kidd. I'm thinking he won't want to deal either, but what should I offer? I'd rather try then give up. lol.

    I'm thinking J.R./Nash/Hibbert for Paul/Bynum...

    ReplyDelete
  73. Hey sorry I completely missed Kidd as he was listed last. I also assumed you weren't gonna wanna give up Nash. Have u run ur team through the analyzer yet? I ask because a Nash for Paul swap makes no sense if you're short on dimes. If you need boards n blocks then go fo bynum, but if you need like points n dimes, I'd rather see you take Ellis. Or if you need treys, we'd need to address that instead. Ya feel me?

    ReplyDelete
  74. Well, the updated team analyzer does not tell me the Sauce Stats even when I type in my league number...so it's all green...error?

    I do need rebounds, assists, and steals (the first analyzer sauce). CP3 can help in steals, so I'm willing to part with Nasty Nash.

    Mike Miller or Anthony Randolph are available. J.R. Smith averages the least amount of rebounds on my team, so that's why I would like to trade him, instead of an Artest/Battier who fill up stats nicely across the board...

    Teach me how to thieve!

  75. Ok now we're on the same page. Sorry had a lot of questions to go thru this morn. Did you try re-downloading the sheet? R u using MS xl? Weird that that happens.

    So let's push the Nash to CP3 as an even deal, then add in Jr Smith and Ty Thomas for you, monta for him. This way u keep Roy for boards blocks. Then, I'd grab Miller, but AR is OK too. See if this kid bites, without Gil he'll need the depth. Throw in Hawes too. Hawes is garbage and should be on the WW, this will make him 'feel' like he's dealing off trouble, ya feel me. Once it goes thru just do the dirty work an dump hawes.

    Good luck, an let me know if he bites or counters or whatnot.

  76. I am using OpenOffice Calculator, which reads Excel files. That might be the reason.

    Now, I offered the trade. I wanted to move Hibbert because he is not consistent. Guess, I'm keeping him. Monta is nice, but I hate the turnovers. His numbers look like Joe Johnson Lite! I understand that we're babying him to drop Hawes, but since he still has Arenas on his team, that's the player he NEEDS to drop. I'm still waiting for him to respond...

    Actually, I might be closer to getting Lebron than CP3. A couple weeks ago I got this trade vetoed Melo/CJ Watson/Battier for LBJ/Calderon. The owner did not believe in Jose, but he is back now. With Nash and Melo, I think I have a legitimate chance to nail both of the 1st tier players. Feel me? Thanks again for your help.

  77. hey thief, when you get a chance can you look @ my post? i know you're busy and all...thanks

    ReplyDelete
  78. Okay, Thief. He rejected the trade, but did not counter.

    His comments were, "Paul will still provide a better fantasy contribution to my type of team."

    The team was Assists and Steals based, but now he's Arenas-less...
