After trying for months to find a destination for Carmelo Anthony, the Rockets were finally able to trade the veteran to the Chicago Bulls on Monday, as first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Rockets sent Melo along with cash to the Bulls. Anthony won’t play a game in a Bulls jersey, as Chicago is at the beginning stages of a rebuild and doesn’t have any need for a veteran power forward. The Bulls made the deal for the $1.5 million in cash considerations promised from the Rockets, similar to a deal the two teams made for Michael Carter-Williams earlier this month.
