MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLV­ES

A person with knowledge of the situation said the Minnesota Timberwolv­es have agreed to terms with big man Gorgui Dieng on a four-year contract extension worth $64 million.

The deal ensures Dieng will not become a restricted free agent next summer and cements him as a critical building block of a team that hopes to be a contender in the Western Conference in the near future.

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER

Two people with knowledge of the situation said the team has agreed to terms with Steven Adams and Victor Oladipo on four-year contract extensions.

Adams is finalizing a deal worth $100 million and Oladipo is getting $84 million.

Getting deals done now ensures neither player will get to restricted free agency next summer and redefines a core around Russell Westbrook now that Kevin Durant is in Golden State.

UTAH JAZZ

Rudy Gobert signed a multi-year extension, the team announced Monday.

The Jazz did not release the details of the deal, but Gobert tweeted a picture of himself signing the paperwork with the caption “4 more years!”

Gobert was drafted No. 27 overall by the Denver Nuggets in 2013 and traded to the Jazz on draft night.
