Houston Rockets: The hidden benefits of trading Carmelo Anthony

After much deliberation and a lot of negotiation, the Houston Rockets were able to successfully trade Carmelo Anthony to the Chicago Bulls. The franchise was able to ship the rights to Jon Diebler, cash and the Houston Rockets were able to acquire the rights to international player Tadija Dragicevic.

The 33-year-old Dragicevic has mostly been a filler for trades throughout his career and has never set foot in the NBA. That mantra will hold true with the Houston Rockets as this engineering of a trade had to be done in order for the Houston Rockets to keep their costs as low as possible.
