As it currently stands, the Hawks have a roster of 15 players under contract (or soon to be) with about $4 million in salary cap space. There are likely to be changes this summer and before the season starts but here is what things look like now.
The NBA announced a salary cap for the 2016-17 season at $94,143,000. The Hawks have approximately $90,850,493 with some estimated salaries and rookie cap holds. I used the estimated numbers for Dwight Howard, Kent Bazemore and Malcolm Delaney from by good friends at Basketball Insiders. The site has Delaney’s contract as two years, $1.5 million with a third-year qualifying offer.
I’ll round up the salary cap difference to $4 million. Here’s what it looks like:
Dwight Howard: $22,500,000*
Paul Millsap: $20,072,033
Kent Bazemore: $15,700,000*
Tiago Splitter: $8,550,000
Kyle Korver: $5,239,437
Thabo Sefolosha: $3,850,000
Mike Scott: $3,333,334
Dennis Schroder: $2,708,582
Tim Hardaway Jr.: $2,281,605
Mike Muscala: $1,015,696
Edy Tavares: $1,000,000
Lamar Patterson: $874,636
Malcolm Delaney: $543,471*
Taurean Prince: $1,931,900**
DeAndre’ Bembry: $1,249,800**
Total: $90,850,493
* - Estimated annual salary
** - Cap hold for draft slot
I will provide updates when I can. Happy Fourth of July everyone. Have fun and be safe.
