is the lower than expected salary cap going to play into Boston's ability to even give him a max deal?

When the salary cap was projected at $107 million, that would have given Boston about $35 million in cap room if they were to renounce all the cap holds, etc. on their free agents, which would be more than enough room to sign Hayward to a max deal (which would be around $32 million for the first year with that salary cap number).

Now that the salary cap came in at around $99 million, Boston's cap space is only sitting at around $27 million. With a max deal for Hayward being around $30 million, either he would have to take a paycut from Boston (which would equate to about $17 million less over 4 years than the Jazz could offer him), or Boston would have to shed some salary.

But does Boston's inability to offer a full max deal to Hayward at this point significantly hurt their chances of resigning him, or is the difference small enough to not have much of an impact?
