The Washington Wizards have been active in trade discussions to move a guaranteed salary, league sources told @spotrac.
Washington would like to keep Jared Butler for depth at point guard, which necessitates trading or waiving a player with a fully guaranteed contract.

If teams are in a situation to waive players with guaranteed salaries, today's 5 PM ET deadline doesn't really impact them. That's mostly for non-guaranteed standard deals and Exhibit 9/10 contracts.
Since those teams will already be eating dead money on the cap sheet, they can wait until Monday's deadline to finalize their rosters. That's some extra time to try to find a trade.
