| Trans. Jul 31 2:44 ET When Diamond Stone entered the NBA draft a year ago, he looked like a first-round pick. Now, the Hawks are paying him to go away. The No. 40 pick last year, Stone signed a two-year guaranteed contract with the Clippers. After acquiring Stone in a trade, Atlanta is willing to eat his $1,312,611 salary. Hawks: Atlanta never necessarily wanted Stone. The Clippers had to deal him (and Jamal Crawford) to match Danilo Gallinari‘s salary in a sign-and-trade.

| Trans. Jul 31 2:28 ET Former Maryland center Diamond Stone was waived by the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, as first reported by the Atlanta Constitution-Journal. Stone was acquired from the Clippers in a trade earlier this month and played for Atlanta in the Vegas Summer League, averaging nine points and 3.5 rebounds per game.

If Stone isn’t picked up by another NBA team, he’ll most likely return to the G-League, where he saw some action last year in between stints with Los Angeles. The Hawks still have Dewayne Dedmon, Mike Muscala and Miles Plumlee at center, and 2017 first-round pick John Collins The Scoop: None. Jul 31 2:28 ET |

For his part, Layman scored 21 points in the championship game, going 8-of-19 from the field and hitting 5 of 8 threes. He also added seven rebounds, two assists, a block and a steal in a failed comeback effort. The rest of the former Maryland basketball family all had solid runs in Vegas, though in varying sample sizes. Robert Carter Jr. had a solid week with the Denver Nuggets, but probably won’t land there. On the other hand, Diamond Stone looks to be The Scoop: None. Jul 19 10:13 ET |
