Bulls acquire veteran sharpshooter Buddy Hield from Hornets in trade

The Bulls completed a deal that sent Rob Dillingham to the Hornets in exchange for Buddy Hield, a proven three-point specialist. The transaction included cash back to offset the salary gap. Hield, who has shot 39.5% from beyond the arc over his career, joins a backcourt that already features Norman Powell and provides depth behind projected starters Josh Giddey and Powell. His experience as a long-time reserve is expected to help define roles for Tre Jones and the other guards.
