The Los Angeles Clippers and Washington Wizards had an agreement in principle on the eve of the deadline involving a trade of Caron Butler for Trevor Ariza, according to sources. Donald Sterling rejected the trade a few hours before the deadline in fear of ruining the team's chemistry. Butler continues to have a home in the Washington D.C. area, while Ariza would have given the Clippers a wing defender with length. Via David Aldridge/NBA.com
