According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Indiana Pacers are looking to trade Buddy Hield after contract extension negotiations between the two broke down. And considering the Chicago Bulls were one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the NBA last year, they should be interested in a deal.
The Bulls took fewer threes per game than any other team in the league last season, and Hield would help with that. He’s one of the best shooters in the league and ranks 29th all-time in three-pointers made. The veteran is heading into the final year of his contract and will make roughly $19.3 million.
The Bulls Central YouTube channel recently discussed why the Bulls need to make a deal for Hield.
Packaging either Lonzo Ball and draft picks or Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu would get the Bulls to Hield’s salary mark. The question is, would the Pacers be interested?
