Adams, Gobert ink huge extensions

NBA big men commanded big money on Monday as New Zealander Steven Adams and France's Rudy Gobert inked massive contract extensions hours before a key free agency deadline.

Adams, who has emerged as a standout center since being taken 12th overall in the 2013 NBA Draft, signed an extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder that US media reported was worth $100 million over four years.

Utah center Gobert - dubbed the "Stifle Tower" for the smothering defense he delivers - signed an extension with the Jazz worth a reported $102 million over four years.
