Story summary

The Chicago Bulls have acquired veteran guard Buddy Hield from the Charlotte Hornets in a trade that sent young guard Rob Dillingham to Charlotte. This deal took place weeks before the start of the new season and is part of Chicago's ongoing roster reshaping under new leadership. Hield, 33, is moving for the second time this month; previously he was traded from Atlanta to Charlotte on Tuesday. In his most recent stint with the Hawks last season, Hield played in just seven games before being moved again. Dillingham, a 21-year-old guard drafted eighth overall by Chicago in 2024, averaged 9.6 points and 2.8 assists per game for the Bulls during his brief tenure last year. With this trade, the Bulls are looking to bolster their veteran presence on the court ahead of the upcoming season.
