Kevin Pritchard said on Monday that the Blazers have decided not to make a qualifying offer to Channing Frye.

The Blazers had until midnight on Tuesday to make a $4.6 million qualifying offer to Frye, who made $3.1 million last season.

"We are going to open up some cap space," Pritchard said. "But we are very thankful for what Channing did and has done. He has been terrific for us."
