    That was the word Friday from all parties involved in negotiating a contract extension for Jazz All-Star forward Andrei Kirilenko, who nonetheless seems confident a formal agreement will soon be reached.
    "I have not signed the deal, but I think we're getting closer and closer," Kirilenko said before a 13-point, seven-rebound, seven-assist, four-block effort in the Jazz's 101-88 preseason win over Sacramento on Friday night at the Delta Center.
    "I think we're working out some details ? but I'll be happy when I sign it," he added. "In my opinion, it's almost figured out ? and I think we're almost done."
    ESPNInsider.com's Chad Ford reported Friday that an agreement indeed had been reached: "Sources told Insider late Thursday that the two sides had agreed to a deal . . . (on) . . . a full six-year $86 million extension."</div>
