Real Madrid has denied being in contract talks with Marc Gasol.

"We have never talked with Marc," said Real sports director Juan Carlos Sanchez. "Last time I've seen him was in Lithuania during Eurobasket."

Real Madrid is exploring making a four or five-year contract offer to Marc Gasol, who is a restricted free agent in the NBA.

The Spanish club tried to sign Gasol before he came to the NBA in 2008.

Gasol said that he would begin considering proposals from Europe if the NBA season was completely canceled.

Hamed Haddadi signed with Melli Haffari of Turkey on Tuesday.

The deal is for the short-term and Haddadi will return to Memphis in December.

He had been linked with a move to Foshan Dralions as well in late July.

Pau and Marc Gasol will practice with Barcelona during the lockout.

Marc Gasol will start practicing on Tuesday, while Pau Gasol will join on Thursday.

Barcelona says the Gasols can practice with their former club “while the NBA lockout lasts.”
