Updated · 2026-27 season
Dorian Finney-Smith is on the books for $14,196,974 in 2026-27, the 7th largest cap hit on the Atlanta Hawks roster and 7.3% of the team's $193.3M payroll.
That ranks 132nd among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 8.6% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $27,531,974 in guaranteed money.
The money declines rather than climbs, from $14,196,974 down to $13,335,000, a 6% drop that makes the back end easier to absorb in a trade.
Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 non-guaranteed, 2028-29 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 35.
He is the 7th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.
He is one of 15 players on the Atlanta Hawks' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $193,315,170.
Atlanta Hawks sit at $193.3M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$9.3M of room below the first apron.
