  "account": "The Chicago Bulls and Charlotte Hornets concluded their third trade of 2026 on September 26, 2026. In the deal, the Bulls sent Rob Dillingham to the Hornets in exchange for Buddy Hield and cash. The move comes as both teams are overhauling their rosters. Dillingham, a 6-2 guard, is entering his third NBA season and averaged 9.6 points and 2.8 assists in 30 games with the Bulls last season. However, Hield, entering his 11th NBA season, is coming off his worst season with 7.6 points and poor shooting splits. The trade is significant for both teams, as Hield provides the Bulls with much-needed shooting and Dillingham will compete for a roster spot in Charlotte.",
