Wow, this article really suprised me. Im not a big Al Thornton fan but overpaid...? Didn't bother to read how they worked it out but also notice Baron and Telfair are also on the list:

How did they come up with this list?

The table is from this article which explains how he worked it out. http://dberri.wordpress.com/2009/08/04/ ... n-2008-09/

I hope AL can mold into a Travis Outlaw this year.
Spark off the bench and be clutch

I think he'll be a very pleasant surprise next year. Thornton can replace some of Butler's points and really turned some heads at Summer League. Lord Byron really likes the kid's upside and its not hard to see why. Thornton made some nice strides last season, upping his points and rebounds. I think he makes the next step next season if given the chance. Hopefully he beats out Collison.

That shows that Al Thornton has negative value when he plays. He has the most negative value of all those 20 players listed. He would have been overpaid even if his salary was 2 cents. Clippers are a better team when Thornton is not playing.

Thornton was probably the worst player in the NBA that played at least 2000 minutes last season.
