The Portland Trail Blazers and Maurice Harkless remain in a contract stalemate as the two sides are "not any closer" to reaching a deal.

Harkless' agent, Happy Walters, says several teams have reached out to him with interest.

Harkless is a restricted free agent after being given a $4 million qualifying offer.

"He's in no rush,'' to make a decision, Walters said. 

Harkless started the final 11 games at small forward, when the Blazers went 8-3. He then became a central figure in the playoffs, when he averaged 11.0 points and 5.1 rebounds.
