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!

Thief said...

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.

Christomir said...

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

Over/Under Scores:

FG%: -0.242
FT%: 0.139
PPG: -0.033
RPG: -0.168
APG: 0.100
SPG: -0.067
TO's: -1.008 (punted)
3PG: 0.105
BPG: -0.348

jawn said...

...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...

BigLil said...

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.

jawn said...

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

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

Mark said...

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

Christomir said...

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 >_<

Dipset said...

thinking about sendin paul and j rich for deron and wade
what u think

team:
chris paul, devin harris. calderon, nate rob
jason richardson, oj mayo
rudy gay josh smith rashard lewis
brook lopez andrea barnagni joakim noah luis scola

sauce:

threes .91
points 15.67

blocks .8

Erik said...

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

Thief said...

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'...

Thief said...

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!!

Carlos said...

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!!!

Thief said...

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?

Carlos said...

Thanks man! Will give it shot.

danshaff said...

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

meetloaf13 said...

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

Thief said...

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

Thief said...

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...

Dipset said...

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

AK said...

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.

imsleepwaikin said...

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.

akurei281 said...

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.

Thief said...

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

AK, courtney lee

Thief said...

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...

akurei281 said...

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

Thief said...

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

Carlo said...

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.

Carlo said...

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?

Adam H said...

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,

Adam H

Victor said...

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.

here's my team:
brandon roy
allen iverson
ray allen
gerald wallace
yi jianlian
kevin garnett
samuel dalembert
kendrick perkins
derrick rose
omri casspi (just picked him up for kirk hinrich)
lou williams
danny granger
wilson chandler

thanks in advance!

Thief said...

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)

Carlo said...

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

nilgan1 said...

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?

Andrew said...

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?

Carlo said...

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

pyoon24 said...

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.

jawn said...

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?

Christomir said...

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?

jb rdl said...

Chattabox919 said...

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?

Qwan said...

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.

Qwan said...

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?

Chuck said...

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?

Tao said...

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?

My SS score

-0.021, 0.134, 0.229, -0.627, 0.021, -0.017, -0.230, 0.273, -0.473

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

Fidel Otanez said...

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
Birdman Andresen
Landry
Durant
Melo Anthony
B Griffin

His Team:
Paul
Allen
Arenas
Morrow
Sheed Wallace
Frye
Beasley
A Bynum
Ellis
Jack
Terry
Hawes
Kidd

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

A_Stone said...

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?

Matt said...

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
Kirk Hinrich
Mike Dunleavy
Tyson Chandler

Points: 14.1
Assists: 3.09
Boards: 6.24
Treys: 1.05
Steals: 1.045
Blocks: .64

Do you have any other advice for my team?

Thanks!

Mat28

Qwan said...

@ 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.

A_Stone said...

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

Qwan said...

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.

Christomir said...

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

AK said...

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

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.

AK said...

Thief,
Sorry one more question,
I'm tryin to grab G Wallace

His team:
Ford, Flynn, Ben Gordon, Morrow, Varejao, Dirk, Caman, Okur, Brewer, G Wall, Charlie V, Marion and Brand.

Preferably a 2-1 or 3-2.

Thanks!

jb rdl said...

hey thief..

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

thanks!

Thief said...

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

Thief said...

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

jb rdl said...

hey thief..

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

examples are gomes,hamilton and calderon

jb rdl said...

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

Thief said...

Miller

So long as they aren't game changing injuries.

Thief said...

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

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!

Thief said...

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

Thief,

Nash averages more assists than Paul...

Fidel Otanez said...

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...

Thief said...

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?

Fidel Otanez said...

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!

Thief said...

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.

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.

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

Fidel Otanez said...

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...
