2 million a year for any of those guys seems really low. If they are willing to sign for that little, there are better teams they could sign with if they are looking for a ring.

Only Jazz can offer Hayward a 5 year contract, all other teams can offer 4 yr.

Okay then, maybe Heat sign one of them with the remaining 7 mil in cap after they re-sign Johnson, then sign one of those 3 with the MLE, then don't sign the one remaining player.

And my bad on the Hayward years for his contract.

I don't think anything is crazy unrealistic other than the FA signings. Its unlikely Hayward goes to Miami but they may get a meeting at least. The other signings are probably a little too low on the salary side especially since Miami isn't likely to be a contender for a ring.
