Andris Biedrins will explore opportunities overseas next month, but a report that he had signed with VEF Riga of Lativa is incorrect. Another report indicated he had signed with Anadolu Efes of Turkey.

"I think (Biedrins) would be open to playing overseas on a temporary or a long-term basis if the (NBA) lockout continues, but we've got to get him some insurance to protect his (NBA) contract," agent Bill Duffy said. "He's on a training regimen, and he usually takes it to another level at this time. In 20 to 30 days, he'll be 100 percent conditioned."
