Apparently, the Wizards came very close to sending Ariza to the Clippers for old friend Caron Butler.
I heard about that on the radio post-match show last night - would have been a bad move; Butler turns 33 next month and hasn't played more than 67 matches since 05-06. It wouldn't have even been a good nostalgia move - the False Spring (2004-08) was so long ago most people have probably forgotten about it (when the Clippers were here he did get some acknowledgment from the crowd but not thunderous cheering or booing).
