Before the trade: Dillingham and the Bulls last season

Rob Dillingham, 21, arrives on the current move after averaging 9.6 points and 2.8 assists in 30 games for the Bulls last season.

The weekend move: Hield to Chicago, Dillingham to Charlotte

Over the weekend, a trade between Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls was closed: Dillingham left the Bulls for the Hornets while Buddy Hield went to Chicago.

The most significant financial point of the transaction was the creation of a $89.0 million trade waiver for the Hornets. This type of credit can be used in future negotiations under NBA's salary space rules, paving the way for the team to move up the roster without having to send exactly the same amount into contracts.

The Hornets will cut Dillingham .

According to sources heard by ESPN's Shams Charania, the Charlotte Hornets will cut Rob Dillingham.

The cut also frees up roster space in case the waiver is consummated, and if point guard isn't claimed by another team in the waivers process, it could become available on the market.

What does that change for Charlotte and the exchange?

For the Hornets, the immediate effect is adjustment in the roster: the team receives a young point guard but decides to dismiss him.

For the Bulls, the trade keeps focus on Buddy Hield and a rearrangement of pieces while Dillingham's exit leaves room for other casting decisions to be made in Chicago.

How far along is the story now?

The plot is in the waiver phase: the trade has already taken place, the US$ 9,6 million exemption was created, and the next step is to confirm whether Rob Dillingham goes through the process of being waived without being claimed by another team.
