The Chicago Bulls are trading former first-round pick Rob Dillingham to the Charlotte Hornets for veteran Buddy Hield and cash, ESPN reported on Saturday. Dillingham, 21, will join his third NBA team after averaging 9.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 21.5 minutes in 30 games for Chicago last season as a reserve. Hield, 33, arrived in Charlotte earlier in the week from the Atlanta Hawks in a trade that also included Ryan Nembhard and cash for forward Dorian Finney-Smith. Hield averaged a career-low 7.6 points per game last season while splitting time between the Golden State Warriors and Hawks, but has career averages of 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists. He has made 2,201 3-pointers, 15th-most in NBA history, while shooting 39.5% from beyond the arc. The trade comes after Charlotte said Kon Knueppel suffered a left hamstring injury during offseason on-court activity and could miss the start of the regular season.
