Daye signed a one-year contract Wednesday with Galatasaray Spor Kulubu of the Turkish Basketball Super League, international basketball writer David Pick reports.
EDGE Analysis
Daye's NBA career quickly flamed out after he was drafted 15th overall by the Pistons in 2009, as he spent all of last season overseas upon getting cut by the Cavaliers in training camp last fall. The 28-year-old will need to demonstrate more prowess as a three-point shooter before getting another look at the NBA level.

Daye was waived by the Cavaliers on Friday, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Daye has spent the last six seasons bouncing around between numerous NBA teams. Unfortunately, he'll again be packing his bags, as the Cavaliers decided to move on from him Friday. With his intriguing size and previous experience in the league, Daye will likely get another chance with a different team. For now, though, he'll head to the open market and wait for an opportunity.

Daye was waived by the Hawks on Thursday, Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. This is likely a move for the Hawks to clear up cap space for the trade with the Spurs involving Tiago Splitter, 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.

Daye was waived by the Spurs in December, and acquired by the Hawks in March. He averaged 3.3 points, 0.6 three-pointers, 1.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 0.5 steals in 10 minutes per game through 8 games with the Hawks in 2014-15. The 27-year-old, who finished his sixth season in the NBA, is under team control through 2015-16. After being waived by the Spurs in December, Daye played 10 games in the NBA D-League where he averaged 16.0 points, 1.3 three-pointers, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.1 blocks, and 0.8 steals in 28 minutes per game through 10 games. Acquired by the Hawks in March, Daye completed two consecutive 10-Day contracts before being signed for the remainder of the season in April. Daye was used minimally in Atlanta, scoring only 26 total points with the Hawks in 2014-15. Should the Hawks re-sign him, Daye will most likely be used as a minor contributor off the bench in case of injury or blowout.

Daye has yet to make an appearance through the first five games of Atlanta's series against Brooklyn. Daye is one of the last options off the bench for Atlanta and isn't expected to be given any meaningful minutes outside of garbage time. With that, there are far better options for postseason formats than the journeyman from Gonzaga.

Daye will sign with the Hawks for the remainder of the season, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Daye's second 10-day deal is set to expire Saturday, at which point the team will formally announce the move. The journeyman Gonzaga product has bounced around since being drafted 15th overall by Detroit in 2009, and he's appeared in five games for Atlanta since coming on board midway through March.

Daye will sign a second 10-day contract with the Hawks on Wednesday, the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Chris Vivlamore reports. As expected, Daye will stick with the Hawks for at least a few more games. He's logged just nine total minutes in the team's five games since he signed the first contract.

Daye will likely get another 10-day contract, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. Daye has played in two out of a possible five games since joining the Hawks, logging just three and six minutes in those appearances. He's only gotten work in garbage time thus far, but the Hawks figure to give minutes to some non-rotation guys over the final few weeks of the season.

Daye saw his first minutes in a Hawk uniform Wednesday and finished with three points, two rebounds, and an assist in six minutes. Daye finally got on the floor after two DNP's with the Hawks as they were getting routed by the Warriors on Wednesday. He will likely only get into games in these types of situations or if a glut of injuries sweeps through the Atlanta front court.

Daye will sign a 10-day contract with the Hawks on Saturday, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Daye last appeared with the Spurs averaging 4.0 points per game in 26 contests before being waived in January. He averaged just over 10 minutes a game in that span, and likely won't see much more playing time than that in Atlanta.
