Charlotte trades Buddy Hield to Chicago for Rob Dillingham

Charlotte , which acquired Hield on Tuesday in the Dorian Finney-Smith trade, has now moved him to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Rob Dillingham and cash, a trade both teams confirmed Sunday morning.

The cash in the trade covers that Hield makes $2.8 million more than Dillingham this season. Hield is set to make $9.7 million this season, but only $3.1 million of his potential $10.1 million for next season is guaranteed. Dillingham, entering his third NBA season, is on his rookie contract and will make $6.9 million this season, and the Bulls can choose to pick up his $8.8 million option for next season.

Chicago adds a veteran shooter to a roster that could use more floor spacing. Last season, in 51 games between Golden State and Atlanta , Hield averaged 7.6 points per game while shooting 34.9% from 3-point range (the lowest percentage of his career, for which he has averaged 39.5%).
