07:38 AM ET 03.02 | The Wizards actively tried to move Al Thornton last week but a person with knowledge of the negotiations said teams were unwilling to offer much in return given his various injuries this season. According to two people with knowledge of the situation, Thornton agreed to give back $400,000 to hit the free agent market now. Another league source said Thornton plans to sign with the Golden State Warriors -- whom the Wizards host on Wednesday at Verizon Center -- when he clears waivers on Thursday.

some of the players are looking to the Future .... which team will I have a chance with next season vs being the 14th man on a Playoff team ..... why did Earl Barron sign a 10 day with Milwaukee vs going to say NY ? .... PT baby ... 16 min, 9 reb, last night ....Bogut out again for 2 weeks maybe with a Rib Strain, needs another surgery to clean out the right elbow ... I say Shut Bogut Down for the rest of the Season .... go for the Lottery 9 pick right now over 8 seed in the Playoffs 1-4 vs Boston or Miami ....

Come back to LA, Bro.

The guy looks great some nights but isn't consistent enough to be helpful to a contending team.

it's about the only place in the league where he'll get alot of minutes...

They already have 6 Forwards on their roster, so I'm not sure where the minutes will come from. Well, I guess he's better than Radmanovic. lol.

no one wants him now - BUT his hope is - if he could get some playing time he could show the other teams what he has and next year be able to get a max deal ( good luck )
now that's funny but true
