The Chicago Bulls trade rookie Rob Dillingham to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for veteran guard Buddy Hield, according to reports from both outlets.
Both sources describe the move as part of each team’s broader roster planning. The Bulls add Hield as an additional veteran shooter to complement a younger roster. The Hornets, meanwhile, take a chance on Dillingham, who entered the NBA as the No. 8 overall pick in 2024 and is now switching teams again.
Across the reports, both emphasize that Hield has been traded twice this offseason, while Dillingham is on to his third team in a short span. The outlets frame the trade primarily through how it changes player roles and team direction rather than through any single on-court event.
