(670 The Score) The Bulls continued their wheeling and dealing Thursday just hours before the trade deadline.
Not long after reaching to a blockbuster deal to acquire All-Star center Nikola Vucevic from the Magic, the Bulls agreed to trade center Daniel Gafford and forward Chandler Hutchison to the Wizards for center Moritz Wagner and forward Troy Brown, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported.
Gafford, 22, is averaging 4.7 points and 3.3 rebounds in 12.4 minutes in 31 games. He had fallen out of coach Billy Donovan’s rotation for a long stretch before rejoining it recently. The Bulls selected him in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft.
Hutchison, 24, had appeared in just seven games this season, sitting out since Feb. 5 due to a personal matter that the Bulls shared few details about. Chicago selected him with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2018 draft.
Wagner, 23, is averaging 7.1 points and 2.9 rebounds in 25 games, including 13 starts. He’s shooting 50.8% from the field and 31.0% from 3-point range. The Lakers selected him at No. 25 overall in the 2018 draft.
Brown, 21, is averaging 4.3 points and 2.9 rebounds in 21 games, all off the bench. He’s shooting 37.1% overall and 30.4% from 3-point range. The Wizards selected him No. 15 overall in the 2018 draft.
