I'm finally giving up on Gilbert Arenas. Now what am I suppose to do?

I held onto him WAY TOO LONG and now 2.5 games from a playoff position. I managed to hold on for so many weeks only losing 5-7, 6-6, or 4-7 but it's now gotten to the point that I may not be able to catch up. I scoured the waiver wire and noticed the following available





Conley


Rondo


Ricky Davis


Francisco Garcia


Travis Outlaw


Raja Bell





I don't have a SG playing tomorrow, but I do have Mike Dunleavy, Marvin Williams, and Raymond Felton on the squad. Who's the best option at this point?|||First off i would like to comment on gangstarr4eva post: dropping Warrick makes no sense right now. Since being put into the starting lineup on Feb 12 he has put up 20.8ppg with 8.7 boards while shooting 54.4% from the field. You want to drop those numbers for Rell and his 11.9 points and 3.7 boards....





On to the question - Gilbert practiced last week with the Wizards, but it was only light and non-contact. But that is a start. But im guessing this question was prompted by the news that came out today that Areans is not unsure of when he will be cleared for contact practices and be able to play.





But I really dont know if it is time to get rid of him. I have been waiting for him to return as well. I am still in 2nd place in my league. I would try to wait it out as long as you can. You didnt mention what stats you are loosing in?


Conley is only good if you are desperate for assist. Rondo isnt putting up consistent helpful numbers, Davis seems to be lost in the mix down in Miami...he should be starting. Outlaw is playing really well for the Blazers and can shoot the 3. Bell shoots the 3 ball real well but is more of a perimeter defender.





The only things i can recommend besides holding onto him (which would be my first choice) is too either drop Felton or Dalembert and pick someone up off waivers who can help you fill the stats you need and stay in the playoff mix.





good luck





ADDITION - those are pretty significant numbers to lose by. Arenas will get you all those numbers You might want to think about making a big trade. try throwing Arenas in the deal so you don't have to carry his weight. Tell the person you are trying to trade with that he should be back soon. Or like you wanted, drop Arenas. But think...if there a player on waivers who can get you those kinda numbers. Basically you need a guy off waivers who avgs 10+ points, 5+ boards, 5+ assist, 1+ steal and 2+ threes. If you can find that then it might be beneficial. BUT i guarantee someone will pick Arenas up the min you drop him.|||Don't drop Gilbert Arenas. He is way too close to coming back. Out of that group right now, TRAVIS OUTLAW is on a TEAR. He would be the best option to pick up at this point, but try dropping someone else for him. Who's our worst player? Drop him instead of Arenas, because Arenas can really make you a tough opponent in the last few weeks of the season and the playoffs.





Out of those last 3, Mike Dunleavy is the best.|||You can't just drop him after this long. I would package him in a trade and try to get a nice upgrade some where. He could give someone some nice value come playoff time. So look to trade with someone that is on top of the tables. GOOD LUCK!

.|||Yes hold onto gilbert|||I would probably drop Hakim Warrick and pick up Raja Bell. Gilbert has screwed you over by him just wasting a spot on your roster, but at this point you might as well hold on to him since he should be coming back soon.|||If you were gonna drop him, you should have done it weeks ago. Since you've held on this long, you might as well wait fro him to come back. He should put up better numbers than the rest of those guys.








Or you can be a complete SHlTBAG and give all the people who are trying to help you thumbs down. You're a douche.|||you held onto him all year and got rid of him two weeks before he comes back? thats a strange move.
