Reports nearly a week ago that the Sonics were on the verge of signing Chris Wilcox to three-year, $24 million deal were false, according to Rick Sund and Jeff Fried. Sund and Fried are scheduled to meet on Tuesday when they are expected to reach a conclusion to his 2006 free agency.

Wilcox is expected to reluctantly sign a one-year tender worth $3.6 million that will allow him to become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
