I am also in a league where the commish went rampid and did the same type of crap. I don't even check it...it is rediculous that it should happen like that and takes the fun out of it I think if you cheat. Sounds like a shitty league…why play.

He traded ricky davis and steve francis for zack randolf. Since everyone else in the league doesn't check at all now that they are like 30 games behind after this weekend, he does whatever he wants. I'm hoping to get roy and marvin williams back so that i can beat him and get back bragging rights. pretty much, he is the commish and he told the guy he would lock his team if he didn’t accept his trade.

The guy in third place is 20 games behind and i'm like 5 behind. I lost to the leader 13-2. I lost some things that i should not have lost, like pts, fgm, 3ptm, blk. but even if i won those i would still get dominated. my plan is to punt assists, tos, a/t ratio. So i'm thinking of getting rid of guys like deron wiliams, rafer alston, mo williams, and tj ford. Who should i be targeting for these guys if i need rebounds and maybe fts and stl and i need not to lose too many pts. i still have guys like marvin williams, and brandon roy out so they will help out but how much will they help. k so guys in my league the only guys that are competing for the championship is me and this one cheating faggot.

He is currently sitting in FA and I think he'll probably get plucked pretty soon. Should I give up someone C-Eligible (Chris Wilcox, for example) to get him? He's a horrible shooter but if he can get me 18/10 with some assists and steals then it could turn out to be very nice. However, he is defintely an injury risk...just games like last night make me want to have him on my roster. What do you guys think? What do you guys think about Chris Webber right now?

My reasons - as Rook correctly guessed - were due to the quirks of the H2H system. It's an 11-cat league (standard 9 cats + offensive rebs and free throws made). Right now, I'm dominant in 6 cats (FG%, Off Rebs, Tot Rebs, Asts, Stls, Blks) I'm barely competitive in the points, 3pm & free throw cats where Gilbert would have helped me the most. Had I made the deal, I would have risked weakening my dominance in FG% and assists without significantly strengthening my current areas of mediocrity. It was a tough, tough call. Gilbert is rated ahead of Paul on just about every player rater I know of and - as Rich pointed out - the schedule strongly favors Arenas come playoff time.

But I'm always thinking in roto mode -- Arenas fills your holes perfectly, as you said. I guess in a h2h league it depends on your strategy. Can you win the categories Arenas helps in?

The Wizards on the other hand, have 4-2-4-4-4-4 games per week to close it out. So, you'd get an extra game per week out of Arenas versus Paul during the last three weeks, or the playoff stretch.

Arenas' owner is frustrated with his inconsistency and piss-poor FG% so far. I'm tempted but am not sure that I myself am ready to climb aboard the Arenas rollercoaster. Here's my team (weekly H2H league): PG: Paul, D. Williams, Barbosa, Ellis SG: J. Howard, Iguodala, Josh Smith SF: KG, AK47 PF: D. Howard, Odom C: Biedrins As you can see, I'm kinda light in scoring, 3s and free throws - all areas that Gilbert can help. But is it worth the potential hit in assists and FG%? I know our esteemed hosts here are Wiz fans and get to watch Gilbert far more than I do out here on the West Coast. What say, guys: how do you see Gilbert's season going from here on out? Do you think he can turn things around enough that I won't come to regret pulling the trigger on this deal? Here’s another one for your consideration:
