Hield to Bulls in Trade Surprise!
28 Sep
Summary
- Buddy Hield moves to the Chicago Bulls.
- Rob Dillingham is traded to the Charlotte Hornets.
- Charlotte creates a large trade exception from the deal.
The Charlotte Hornets have reportedly sent guard Buddy Hield to the Chicago Bulls as part of a significant offseason transaction. This deal marks Hield's seventh team as he enters his eleventh NBA season.
In exchange for Hield, the Bulls are sending Rob Dillingham and cash considerations to Charlotte. Dillingham's move makes him a member of his third team since February's trade deadline.
The Hornets aim to shed salary and capitalize on Dillingham's potential. They also gain a substantial trade exception, valued at Hield's larger contract, which can be utilized in future dealings.
The Bulls secure an impactful high-volume shooter, boasting a career 39.5% success rate from three-point range on over seven attempts per game. The cash considerations will help offset the financial difference in the trade.
