Any word on when he comes back?

He's practising today so if all goes well then probably Friday or the next game. Depends on the reports that come out after practice.

He's supposed to be playing his first game tonight, but still might be smart to wait on him... no telling how many/few minutes he'll be getting.

Would anyone trade him for Conley? I'm not sure how long Conley will keep this up but he sure looks good.

What do you need more? Conley will keep getting more assists. Arenas will get more 3-pointers.

At the moment I'd hedge towards Conley. He hurts FT%, especially for guards, but honestly I think he'll keep up close to his current stats most of the season. He simply has looked great, knows his role, and will continue getting huge minutes all season.

Arenas is a wildcard. If he can get back to his old form he could be great. He's not that old, just needs to get his head screwed on straight again. His assists numbers won't be what they were (since he's playing his more natural SG now), but he could have a huge season. No one really knows (a) how seriously he will take things, (b) how he will play with John Wall, or (c) if he can stay healthy.

I actually have Arenas on my team (snagged him in the late rounds), and my fingers are crossed that this is the season he gets his act together. But I'd take a sure thing over him any day.

Of course, tonight is the night I finally get Arenas back, and Stuckey (who I also have) is the one who became my new headcase.....
