Buddy Hield Contract & Salary

Buddy Hield is on the books for $9,658,536 in 2026–27, the 9th largest cap hit on the Atlanta Hawks roster and 5.1% of the team's $190.9M payroll.

That ranks 175th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 5.9% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $19,756,096 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $9,658,536 in the first year up to $10,097,560 in the last, a 5% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 player option.

The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.

At 33, he is on the far side of the aging curve, and the deal still has him on the books through age 34.

He is the 9th highest-paid of the 16 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 16 players on the Atlanta Hawks' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $190,927,649.

Atlanta Hawks sit at $190.9M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$11.5M of room below the first apron.
