CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 The Chicago Bulls have acquired veteran guard Buddy Hield and cash from the Charlotte Hornets for guard Rob Dillingham.<\/p>\n
The teams announced the trade on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Hield, 33, is on the move for the second time in five days. He was traded from Atlanta to Charlotte on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Hield played for Golden State and Atlanta last season, averaging 7.6 points in 51 games. He was traded from the Warriors to the Hawks in February.<\/p>\n
Chicago, which went 31-51 last season, is rebuilding under new leadership. Bryson Graham was hired as executive vice president of basketball operations in May, and Tiago Splitter was hired as coach in June.<\/p>\n
The Bulls selected Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain in the first round of the draft in June. They also signed Norman Powell in free agency.<\/p>\n
Dillingham, who turns 22 in January, was the No. 8 pick in the 2024 draft. He was traded from Minnesota to Chicago in the Ayo Dosunmu deal in February.<\/p>\n
The North Carolina native averaged 6.3 points and 2.2 assists in 65 games last season.<\/p>\n
Dillingham joins a Charlotte team that went 44-38 last year in its first winning season since 2021-22. The Hornets beat the Miami Heat 127-126 in the NBA’s play-in tournament before being eliminated by the Orlando Magic in their next game.<\/p>\n
