Al Thornton — Al always needed to do more than just look for his own shot, especially since he was never a particularly efficient scoring talent. He didn’t, so he’s on this list.

Washington have gone this route due to a lack of options at the position; despite being re-signed this summer, Josh Howard is still injured and might be for a while, while Al Thornton still hasn't learnt how to maximize his talents and continues to take bad shots.

Of the other teams, only the Clippers made any significant future financial changes with their deals. After previously gifting away Marcus Camby to the Blazers for a backup point guard, an injured guy who can't play, no long term basketball assets and $3 million, the Clippers followed it up with a better move when they got in on the Jamison deal, traded Al Thornton to the Wizards and Sebastian Telfair to the Cavaliers, receiving Drew Gooden's expiring in the process. This move opens up $5,514,196 in cap room for the Clippers next season, and expunges the last remaining salary from their initial Zach Randolph trade.
