Buddy Hield Traded to Chicago Bulls in Late-Offseason Roster Shakeup

The Chicago Bulls acquired veteran sharpshooter Buddy Hield and cash considerations from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for young guard Rob Dillingham. Entering his 11th NBA season, Hield arrives to bolster Chicago's perimeter shooting capability. Across 51 games last season with the Warriors and Hawks, Hield averaged 7.6 points while making 1.5 three-pointers on 34.9 percent shooting. He holds a player option worth roughly $10 million for the 2027-28 season.
