Report: Tibor Pleiss, Jazz close to finalizing 3-year contract

The Utah Jazz and German center Tibor Pleiss are in the process of finalizing a 3-year, $10-million contract, according to a report by Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Jazz have courted the Barcelona center ever since they acquired his rights from the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Enes Kanter trade earlier this year.

Pleiss, who averaged 5.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.6 blocks for Barcelona last season, visited Utah earlier this month.

Pleiss was drafted with the first pick in the second round of the 2010 NBA draft by the New Jersey Nets.
