The move
Tony Bradley, a 28-year-old center-forward in his eighth season, is off the Atlanta Hawks roster as of Monday, Sep 21, according to the club's official roster. On Sep 10, hoopsrumors listed him in a Knicks-focused roundup, "Knicks Notes: Bradley, Center, McBride, Hart, Brunson," at 33 percent confidence, but that report never resolved into a confirmed destination. Bradley had appeared on Atlanta's roster before this move. Where he goes next, and whether the departure was a trade, a waiver or something else, is not announced.
The money
Bradley's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, and no new deal is confirmed. Atlanta's payroll stands at $198.3 million across 18 contracts for 2026-27, over the $165.0 million salary cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax line. The first apron sits at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million, so the Hawks have room before either threshold. With Bradley off the roster, Atlanta counts 19 players against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
The fit
Bradley averaged 4.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 11.0 minutes over 41 games last season, 2025-26, with Atlanta. The Hawks' frontcourt minutes last season went to Onyeka Okongwu, 31.0 minutes and 15.2 points, and Kristaps Porziņģis, 24.3 minutes and 17.1 points, with Jalen Johnson at 35.2 minutes and 22.5 points on the wing. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, CJ McCollum, Trae Young and Keshon Gilbert also logged regular minutes last season. Atlanta now carries 19 players on its roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
