The Rockets made the end of Carmelo Anthony’s brief tenure with the team official on Tuesday, dealing him to the Chicago Bulls along with cash in an exchange of draft rights of players in neither teams’ plans.
The Rockets sent Anthony along with the rights to Jon Diebler, who is playing in Turkey, for the draft rights to Tadija Dragiu0107eviu0107 who played in Spain this season.
The Rockets sent $1.57 million to the Bulls to offset the remaining salary on his one-year contract ($1.055 with the league picking up $388,000) and give the Bulls roughly $900,000 profit to make the deal.
