    Center Rudy Gobert and the Utah Jazz agreed on Monday to a four-year contract extension worth $102 million, according to league sources.

    The deal, on course to be finalized in advance of Monday's 11:59 p.m. ET deadline, will fall just shy of the projected max of $106 million.

    "It will be done today," said one source close to the talks.

    Gobert had told the Salt Lake Tribune this month that he was prepared to wait until restricted free agency in July, if necessary, but sources say Utah was motivated to get a deal done before the extension window closed for 2013 first-round picks to ensure that its defensive anchor stayed off the open market next summer.
