Wizards declined to make a qualifying offer to Trevor Booker

The Wizards declined to make a qualifying offer to forward Trevor Booker, according to a multiple people with knowledge of the situation, meaning he will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

The Wizards still want to bring back the energetic, rugged forward but Booker actually played so well in his fourth season – averaging 6.8 points with 5.3 rebounds in 72 games – that he priced himself out of what Washington had intended to spend on him.
