Daye was waived by the Hawks on Thursday, Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

Analysis:

This is likely a move for the Hawks to clear up cap space for either the trade with the Spurs involving Tiago Splitter or for Paul Milsap's new contract, as Daye's deal was non-guaranteed. Daye is versatile and has good length for someone playing on the wing, but the 27-year-old is limited in what he can do offensively. He does have a solid outside stroke, however, as he has shot 35 percent from behind the arc for his career. He will have to clear waivers before he can sign with the team of his choice.
