The Atlanta Hawks have reportedly waived Antonius Cleveland, who was signed last season to a multi-year deal after two 10-day deals were given to Cleveland during the 2017-18 season.
As I reported was coming, the Hawks have waived Antonius Cleveland.
Cleveland was always meant to be a long-term piece and somewhat of a project, as his natural athleticism and size were certainly attractive to GM Travis Schlenk when he seemed to give Cleveland his vote of approval last year as a potential important rotation piece for the Hawks going forward.
Instead, ahead of the still-pending Dennis Schröder/Carmelo Anthony deal, the Hawks needed to slice off a little more cap space to make sure the deal is actually possible.
