Highly coveted forward Gordon Hayward will open the free-agent process by meeting with the Miami Heat on Saturday, according to multiple reports.
Hayward, who played in his first All-Star game last season, will also consider remaining with the Utah Jazz or departing for the Boston Celtics.
Hayward averaged 21.9 points for the Jazz last season. The 27-year-old reportedly will meet with the Jazz on Monday.
Utah is hoping to retain Hayward, who emerged as the face of the franchise last season. The Jazz can offer him a five-year deal worth approximately $180 million.
The Heat and Celtics can offer four-years deals of approximately four years for $127 million.
The Celtics have long held an interest in Hayward due to coach Brad Stevens once being Hayward’s college coach at Butler.
The NBA free-agency period begins at 12:01 a.m. ET on Saturday.
