Suns May Offer Max Deal to Gordon Hayward

And (Gordon) Hayward, who earned $11 million in his first four NBA seasons, is about to get a huge pay raise.

The 6-foot-8 restricted free agent is expected to receive a significant contract offer, possibly upwards to a max deal, from the Phoenix Suns this coming week, according to sources.

However, the Jazz plan on matching any offers for Hayward and intend to keep the versatile wing player in the organization as a major cornerstone in this rebuilding era, according to sources.
