Hawks' Mike Scott: Contact fully guaranteed for 2016-17 season

The Hawks recently guaranteed Scott's $3.33 million contract for the 2016-17 season, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

The team had until July 9 to waive Scott if it didn't want to be on the hook for his contract, but at that price, the 6-foot-8 forward looks like a bargain with the salary cap rising earlier this month. Scott, who will hit free agency next summer, averaged 6.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 15.3 minutes per game over 73 appearances in 2015-16, and figures to see similar court time during the upcoming campaign.
