Gilbert Arenas wrote on his Weibo account that he's preparing to play in China.

Yahoo! Sports reported on Tuesday that Arenas' deal in China was falling apart, but it sounds like Agent Zero taking his talents to the CBA is still a very real option. Regardless of the outcome, Arenas' NBA future looks bleak at the moment.

Gilbert Arenas - G - Grizzlies

Gilbert Arenas, who reached a verbal agreement to sign with Guandong in China, may not be joining the team after all.

There are disagreements on a payment schedule, while Guandong is also concerned about what kind of shape Arenas might be in. They're already searching for another guard to fill the hole that not signing Arenas would leave, so it's possible that he could end up trying to get back into the NBA at some point soon. However, no NBA teams showed interest in signing him over the summer, so we doubt anything has changed on that front.

Gilbert Arenas is "close to signing" a one-year contract to play in China, a source tells Yahoo! Sports.

Arenas would play for the Guangdong Southern Tigers. He previously flirted with the idea of going to China, and with no interest in his services stateside, he'll likely join Tracy McGrady abroad next season.

Gilbert Arenas is considering playing in China to start the season, sources tell ESPN's Marc Stein.

Arenas had previously said that he was hopeful to sign with either the Lakers or Clippers, and Stein reiterates that those two teams are his "preferred destinations." However, with no offer from either team, Agent Zero is considering taking his talents to China.

Gilbert Arenas - G - Grizzlies

Gilbert Arenas said that he is considering signing with the Lakers or Clippers for the 2012-13 season.

We're taking this with a major grain of salt. Arenas apparently told an auto mechanic in Los Angeles that both LA teams were on the table, but we've heard nothing to suggest that either club is legitimately interested. For what it's worth, ESPN's Chris Palmer reported in late May that Arenas could sign with the Lakers, but Arenas may simply be attempting to create a market for himself.

Unrestricted FA Gilbert Arenas has "slimmed down" and is "completely healthy," sources tell Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld.

We heard some similarly glowing reports about Arenas' health before he signed with the Grizzlies last season, where he was a complete non-factor. He has drawn very little interest on the open market, and he may have to wait for a training camp injury to get another shot. Orlando owes him over $40 million over the next two seasons after using the amnesty clause on his contract, so he'll still be getting paid even if he doesn't find a new team.

Unrestricted free agent Gilbert Arenas could sign with the Lakers, sources tell ESPN's Chris Palmer.

Arenas and the Lakers flirted with one another this season before he ultimately signed with the Grizzlies, and with Los Angeles still needing help at point guard, Arenas' name could surface once again. He didn't exactly wow anyone with his performance in Memphis, but he would likely come on a veteran's minimum contract should the Lakers once again express interest.

Gilbert Arenas (finger) played one minute on Friday against the Bobcats.

There is some talk that he could be waived before the playoffs start, and either way he has no fantasy value.

Gilbert Arenas has a torn ligament in his finger.

Arenas missed Wednesday's game, and he said that it's "difficult" to dribble and shoot the ball. He's day-to-day and assured he'd be ready for the postseason, so it's not a serious concern. He holds no fantasy appeal.

Gilbert Arenas missed Wednesday's game with an injured finger on his shooting hand.

He's had some decent games, but has been far too inconsistent to be used in fantasy this year.

Gilbert Arenas scored two points off the bench on Monday, hitting 1-of-3 shots with one assist and one steal in 14 minutes.

If you had been following his two-game stretch with seven 3-pointers, here is the counterbalance to that. Good luck.

Gilbert Arenas had another sharp performance off the Grizzlies' bench, scoring 14 points with three 3-pointers vs. the Mavericks on Saturday.

Arenas hit all five of his FT attempts and had one steal and one block, but failed to record an assist in 17 minutes. He's impressing both his teammates (Mike Conley: "It’s like he's a video game player...It's fun to watch") and his coach (Lionel Hollins: "Gilbert hitting the 3s has been huge. He has brought in a new spirit for our guys, and it is contagious"). Given the low playing time and atypically efficient shooting, however, we're still not high on him as a fantasy option.

Gilbert Arenas hit four 3-pointers off the bench on Friday, scoring 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting with zero rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes.

It's going to take more than one lopsided line to raise our eyebrows, but he did make the most of his time on the floor so there is that.
