When the Atlanta Hawks traded Dewayne Dedmon to the Detroit Pistons, they were simply looking to do a salary dump for the 2021-22 season. Dedmon was going to earn $13.3 million in 2020-21 and the same number the following season. Tony Snell, who the Hawks traded for was only due $12.1 million for the 2020-21 season.
The fact that Snell averaged 5.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 21.1 minutes per game means that his contract was one of the worst in the NBA.
