OKLAHOMA CITY -- Things appeared to be unraveling for the Thunder when Kevin Durant left for Golden State.Four months later, Oklahoma City has a solid nucleus in place. Just a few months after re-signing Russell Westbrook, the Thunder announced multi-year extensions for center Steven Adams and guard Victor Oladipo not long after the trade deadline at midnight Eastern on Tuesday.I think it was pretty clear that both guys wanted to be here, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said.Getting the deals done now ensures the two young players with high ceilings wont become restricted free agents next summer, and it stabilizes the core around Westbrook now that Durant is gone. Both potentially could have garnered more money on the open market. With uncertainty regarding the final details of a new collective bargaining agreement that will take effect next season, the Thunder went for the safe move, and the players were willing to sign.The Thunder did not provide details on the contracts. Two people familiar with the deals said that both were four-year extensions, with Adamss deal worth $100 million and Oladipos worth $84 million. The people spoke only on condition of anonymity because the details had not been announced.We are excited to extend our partnership with Steven and Victor, Thunder general manager Sam Presti said in a statement. Both players represent the Thunders present and future, exhibiting the values that the Oklahoma community and our organization hold in high regard: hard work, team first, resiliency and citizenship.Adams, a New Zealand native, has emerged as one of the most talented centers in the league. In three-plus seasons with the Thunder, he has averaged 6.3 points and 6.0 rebounds per game but through three games this season, he is averaging 13.0 points and 9.0 rebounds.I just like it here, man, Adams said. It reminds me of New Zealand, this place. Lot of good people here. Obviously, a really good organization.During last years playoffs, Adams recorded six double-doubles and averaged 10.1 points and 9.5 rebounds in 22 games.Steven, just being part of his development and seeing him progress last year, clearly, I think everybody feels he is going to be one of the best centers in this league, Donovan said.Oladipo came to the Thunder in the trade that sent Serge Ibaka to Orlando. Adams was pleased that Oladipo committed to the extension just three games into his first season in Oklahoma City.Its good that he came over and just felt comfortable enough to sign, Adams said. Really good. Thats just kudos to the culture and the family environment that we bring.Oladipo has averaged 15.9 points, 4.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 steals for his career. He was named to the 2016 U.S. Select Team this past summer. So far this season, he has averaged 17.0 points, 2.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals.I just felt like it was a great fit, Oladipo said. I feel comfortable. I just feel like Im supposed to be here.Getting to play next to Westbrook played a role in Oladipos decision. The two built a strong relationship over the summer.It was a great factor, a big factor in the decision as well, he said. Hes one of the best players in the world, if not, the best player in the world. Who wouldnt want to play with him for a long time?---AP Basketball Writer Jon Krawczynski contributed to this report.

NAIROBI, Kenya -- Prosecutors in Kenya withdrew doping charges against banned marathon runner Rita Jeptoos former manager on Tuesday, saying they wanted to conduct more investigations.Federico Rosa, an Italian national, had been facing charges that he provided or administered banned substances to Jeptoo and another little-known Kenyan runner, with some of the allegations dating back as far as 2004.Rosa said he had been given back his passport by a court in Nairobi and was free to go. He had been out on bail ahead of Tuesdays court hearing.There is no witnesses. There is nothing against me. There is no case. This is one of the best days of my life, Rosa told The Associated Press in a phone interview.Rosa was freed, but prosecutors said they would investigate further and he could be re-arrested and re-charged.Prosecutors had said that Rosa was complicit in Jeptoos doping in 2014, when he was her manager. Jeptoo, once the leading womens marathon runner in the world, tested positive for EPO in an out-of-competition test that year. She was initially banned for two years, but her punishmennt was doubled to four years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport last month.dddddddddddd That CAS ruling also appeared to vindicate Rosa, with the Swiss-based court noting in its findings that Jeptoo had hidden her doping from her management and coaching team at the time.Rosa ended his association with Jeptoo after she failed the doping test.Although Jeptoo was named as a complainant by prosecutors in the Kenyan criminal case, Rosa disputed that his client had ever accused him of involvement in her doping.Charges that Rosa helped administer banned substances to Elijah Kiprono Boit, a former 800-meter runner who competed at the world youth championships in 2001 and 2004, were also dropped. Rosa was accused of helping Boit dope between 2004-08.Rosa represents a number of top Kenyan athletes, including three-time world 1,500-meter champion Asbel Kiprop and Olympic marathon champion Jemima Sumgong. Kiprop attended Tuesdays court hearing in support of Rosa. ' ' '
