The Wizards on Wednesday declined to match an offer sheet tendered to Steve Blake by the Portland Trail Blazers, reuniting the restricted free agent point guard with Dixon.

Terms of the offer sheet were not disclosed.

"We are very pleased that the Wizards did not match and that Steve Blake is now part of the Trail Blazers family," Portland general manager John Nash said. "As we said when we signed him to the offer sheet, Steve has competed at the highest level in college culminated by his experience at Maryland and winning a national championship."

Washington Wizards rookie Andray Blatche was released from the hospital Tuesday, two days after being shot in an attempted carjacking.

"He is doing very well, and we are very encouraged by his progress," Wizards president of basketball operations Ernie Grunfeld said.

The 19-year-old forward was shot once in the chest early Sunday morning while riding in a car near his home in Alexandria, Va.

Blatche, from Connecticut's South Kent Prep School, was the 49th overall pick in this year's NBA draft.

The Wizards open training camp next Tuesday in Richmond, Va. Regarding Blatche's status, Grunfeld said, "At this time it is too early to determine a timetable for his return to action."

Andray Blatche, a 19-year-old Syracuse native who was selected by the Washington Wizards in the second round of the NBA Draft in June, was shot in an apparent robbery near his home in Alexandria, Va., Sunday morning.

Blatche was shot once in the chest as two assailants approached a car in which he was a passenger around 6:30 a.m., according to an Alexandria, Va., police report. After the shooting, the driver of the car, who was not named in the report, drove to Blatche's home in the Washington, D.C., suburb and called police. Ambulance personnel responded and Blatche was taken via helicopter to Inova Fairfax Hospital in Fairfax, Va.

Blatche was listed in serious but stable condition, according to a police spokesman. Blatche's mother, Angela Oliver, of Syracuse, received a telephone call from the Alexandria police early Sunday morning.

Wizards free agent Steve Blake, a 25-year-old guard who was born in Hollywood and attended Miami High, has been linked to the Heat in a potential sign-and-trade transaction. However, such a move would likely involve a future Heat draft choice.

Riley said he is reluctant to deal another pick, having sent two to the Lakers a year ago for Shaquille O'Neal and two more this summer to Boston for Antoine Walker.

"You take a look at our ballhandlers, we've got Jason and we've got Dwyane [Wade] and we've got Antoine who can really handle. Do we need another one? Yeah, we probably need another one that we can really depend on," Riley said. "I love Steve Blake. I think he's got a great upside, but what we are right now is about now."

The Heat and Washington Wizards have held preliminary discussions about a sign-and-trade for Wizards restricted free agent point guard Steve Blake.

Such a scenario would eliminate the need for Miami to wait a week to see if the Wizards would match a Heat offer. Miami could slot Blake into a $1.9 million trade exception acquired last season in a deal with Charlotte.

But the teams have not agreed to a deal, and the Heat continues to consider other backup point guard options, including free agent Gary Payton.

A league source confirmed to RealGM?s Christopher Reina late Tuesday night that Calvin Booth has reached an agreement on a two-year contract to join the Washington Wizards. The second year of the deal is a player option.

He will travel to Washington later this week to officially sign the contract.

Booth was waived by the Bucks in August and was designated their amnesty victim.

The 6-11 center was drafted in the second round by the Wizards in 1999 and then went on to do two tours with the Mavericks that surrounded a three-year stint in Seattle.

Booth was also being pursued by the Clippers and Cavaliers.

A league source has confirmed to Christopher Reina that Calvin Booth worked out with the Washington Wizards on Wednesday and that he has also drawn interest from at least five other clubs, including the Clippers and Cavaliers. He has reportedly received offers from multiple teams.

Booth was waived by the Bucks in August and designated their amnesty victim.

The 6-11 center was drafted in the second round by the Wizards in 1999 and then went on to do two tours with the Mavericks that surrounded a three-year stint in Seattle.

Mikki Moore?s departure to Seattle earlier this week leaves a void in the Clippers? frontcourt that the six-year veteran Booth could nicely fill.
