By rule, the most the Heat or Celtics, as outside teams, are allowed to offer Hayward is a four-year contract worth $127.8 million. The Jazz, as Hayward's incumbent team, can offer a maximum of $172.4 million over five years. However, if Hayward moves for a three-year deal to protect his ability to then move into the NBA's highest-tenure pay bracket, the difference between offers by the teams would be negligible.
