Sure, the Wizards traded a fan favorite in 33-year old Antwan Jamison but they had to go in a new direction. The Arenas/Jamison/Butler Wizards were fun to watch but they were never going to be a legit championship contender. With that in mind the Wizards made the best trade they could which will save them a ton of money. Jamison was to make $28 million bucks the next two years for the Wizards which is now off the books. The Wizards will likely buy out Zydrunas Ilgauskas saving them even more cash. But the two most important things in this particular trade was getting the first round pick and Al Thornton. Thornton is only 26 years old and he has had a solid career so far in the NBA. He played in 51 games (30 starts) for the Clippers this season and he averaged 27.5 minutes, 10.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Thornton has now played in 201 games (128 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 30.9 minutes, 13.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He will be a big part of the rebuilding process in Washington. .
