The Oklahoma City Thunder and center Steven Adams are making significant progress toward a possible four-year, $100 million extension, according to a report by Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.

The Thunder had also been in talks of a possible four-year, $80 million deal with shooting guard Victor Oladipo, as Wojnarowski reported Sunday — though there's been no update as far as his situation.

OKC will attempt to beat the Oct. 31 deadline for the extension of rookie-scale contracts of fourth-year players, which expires at midnight. After that, the players will be locked into restricted free agency by season's end.

If the deal goes through, Adams would become the fourth player of his kind to be extended after Giannis Antetokounmpo, C.J. McCollum, and Dennis Schroder.

The New Zealand international has become a crowd favorite for his rugged tenacity on the defensive end, and his soft touch has proved to be a pleasant asset on the offensive end.

At only 23 years old, the 7-footer represents a bright future for the team as he keeps developing year after year.

Steven Adams is averaging 13 points, nine rebounds, and 2.3 steals through three games so far this season.
