So I was looking at the rules and I believe that for this excercise it should be assumed that Gilbert will start and be at full health.  Based on the rules it says that if there is real news providing evidence that a player will be active in the NBA or NBADL they are assumed an active player for this league.  Based on this we are very excited to have a top 10 NBA player on our team and to have drafted him in the middle of the 2nd round. 

1) In order for a player to be eligiblbe to be drafted, the player must be an active NBA player, an active NBDL player, or an active overseas player.  High school and college players are ineligible to be drafted.  Retired players are eligible to be drafted if there is recent indication that the player is contemplating a return to either the NBA, NBDL, or .  This can be achieved by illustrating news dated within the past 60 days.  If you wish to draft a retired player and there is no recent news, you can still appeal the player to the Commissioner for review.

2) In regards to overseas players, it should be noted that you are drafting the "rights" to that player, however, if they are under contract to a team in a foreign league, then they're staying there unless real news can be provided illustrating a buy-out is in the works. (Same 60 day rule from retired player rule applies here)

I think the problem is that while KG and Agent 0 START the season at full health, people are skeptical that they will remain that way. And that potential injury factor hurts your team.

That is fine, but the feelings expressed here yesterday were that they Gilbert was not going to play this season

Also, Gilbert even when healthy is not a Top 10 player.  Top 20 potentially, but you cant convince me even if healthy he is a top 10 player.  probably a top 10 PG.  I'll assume thats what you meant

He's definatley a top 10 PG, and if he's playing completely healthy AND completely on his game, there aren't 10 Players who are clearly better than him.

Boston -- Ap - The Celtics have taken there 3.1 off the trading block and replaced it with 3.6

Lines are open.

But the last time he was clearly healthy and clearly on top of his game was March of 2007. What guarantees do we have that in November 2009 he will be like that when clearly we saw what being away from the game did to Marbury after a year plus. Well Gilbert has been away from the game for 2 1/2 years and has had multiple surgeries and injuries.

I think for anyone to look at the name Gilbert Arenas in 2009 and think he will be what he was in 2007 is an extremely far stretch of the imagination.

I had never stated that I thought he wouldn't played all season, what I was saying is that I have doubts he will be the same player or be just as good as he was before.  Almost two years off from competitive play is a long time, and that was my concern.  I never thought he would be out for an entire 3rd year, I'm just a bit skeptical...But as I said he he proves me wrong I will give your team more than it's due at the next round of voting, but at this time I still have some doubts.  Nothing personal.
