Another big name is off the board for next summer's free agency.

Utah Jazz star Rudy Gobert agreed to a five-year, $205-million contract extension, he told ESPN's Tim MacMahon.

The deal is the largest for a center in NBA history and the third-most overall behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and Russell Westbrook.

Gobert's new contract includes a player option for the fifth year, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

"It means that they believe in me," Gobert told MacMahon. "They believe in what we've been building over the years with this whole organization, with (head) coach (Quin Snyder) and all the guys.

"For me, it's an incredible blessing. It's a very motivating feeling to know that we all share the same vision and we all share this goal for this state and for this franchise."
