The HEAT didn’t exactly cash
The HEAT didn’t exactly cash in on the steal either, but there is still hope. They flipped Thornton on draft night to the New Orleans Hornets for Jarvis Varnado and a second-round pick yet to be conveyed still. Thornton had a solid two years for the Hornets before they ended up shipping him to Sacramento for Carl Landry.

The New York Post reported earlier today that the Knicks will not even mull signing 2001 NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) Allen Iverson to play either guard position this autumn.
During the Boston Celtics Game 6 loss to the 76ers in Philadelphia on Wednesday evening, the 11-time All-Star emphatically declared on national TV his desire to again perform in the NBA.
"I want to play basketball so bad," said Iverson, 36, a four-time scoring champion rated the fifth greatest NBA shooting guard of all time by ESPN in 2008. "I just want to play basketball."
The talented troublemaker was last employed by an NBA franchise in 2010 with the 76ers and he hasn't played professionally since being a member of the Be??ikta?? Milangaz of Turkey in 2011.
Iverson, who Philadelphia chose out of Georgetown University with the first overall selection in the 1996 NBA Draft, has earned paychecks from five organizations since vacating the oldest Jesuit and Catholic school in the United States.
The reason an otherworldly talent like Iverson has essentially become a journeyman is because he is a notorious malcontent who loathes "practice."
Stephen A. Smith wrote a column in the Philadelphia Inquirer in March 2010 noting "numerous NBA sources" told him the three-time All-NBA First Team selection would "either drink himself into oblivion or gamble his life away."
Ideally, Iverson would have always wanted "to play basketball so bad" considering it's the sport that made him millions.
Unfortunately, fans and onlookers should expect the Allen Iverson story to end badly.
