The Utah Jazz plan to match offer sheets for Gordon Hayward, a restricted free agent.
Hayward is expected to receive a significant offer sheet, possibly the maximum contract, from the Phoenix Suns, according to sources.
The Jazz have extended a qualifying offer to Hayward. Dennis Linsey has said he hopes to keep Hayward.
Hayward developed a strong relationship with Suns coach Jeff Hornacek during the first three seasons of his career when the former Jazz shooting guard was a shooting coach and assistant.
