The Atlanta Hawks have fully guaranteed Buddy Hield’s $9.6 million salary for the 2026-27 season, increasing from a previously guaranteed $3 million. Hield was acquired in a trade that sent Kristaps Porzingis to the Golden State Warriors and played seven regular-season games and two playoff games for Atlanta. The Hawks are considering using Hield’s salary for matching in potential trades. Hield also has a player option for the 2027-28 season, which is $3.1 million guaranteed if exercised.
