Dunleavy’s salary of $5,175,000 was to become fully guaranteed on July 1st but the Hawks, seemingly unable to find a trade partner, will waive the veteran swingman before that happens. However, it’s worth mentioning that $1,662,500 of that $5,175,000 was guaranteed no matter what the Hawks did, but Atlanta waiving Dunleavy lets them off the hook for the remaining $3,512,500.
