Marc Gasol to meet with Grizzlies, nobody else

In the latest signal Marc Gasol is going nowhere in free agency, the Memphis Grizzlies center is scheduling no meetings with rival teams interested in him, according to league sources.

Gasol will instead host a contingent of Grizzlies officials in his native Spain on Wednesday morning, raising the possibility that a verbal agreement on a new contract will quickly follow.

Players and teams can come to verbal agreements on new deals after free agency officially commences, but no new contracts can be formally signed until July 9.
