Hayward Wasn't Seeking Max Deal From Jazz

Nov 5, 2013 7:02 PM

The Utah Jazz and Gordon Hayward were unable to agree upon a contract extension and he will become a restricted free agent this offseason.

Hayward was not seeking a four-year, max contract worth more than $60 million, according to reporting from ESPN's Marc Stein.

Stein believes Hayward will find a deal in that neighborhood in free agency with teams like the Phoenix Suns and Boston Celtics having cap space.

Phoenix Suns training camp invite James Nunnally has reached agreement on a deal to return to the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA D-League, a league source told RealGM.

Following three games with the Suns in the preseason, Nunnally was released and had been evaluating options overseas and in the D-League before deciding to return to Bakersfield. He averaged 10.3 points and nearly three rebounds in 19.7 minutes a game with Bakersfield a season ago.

An outside shooting threat at 6-foot-7, Nunnally, 23, went undrafted in the 2012 NBA draft after four seasons at UC Santa Barbara.

The D-League held its annual draft on Friday night.
