The Philadelphia 76ers decided to come to the trade deadline party after all in a deal that was announced after the 3 P.M. deadline.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski:
Philadelphia will receive a future second-round pick to take on Anthony and his contract, sources tell @TheVertical.

To be clearer: Anthony goes to Sixers through Houston, who acquired him from Detroit in 3-player trade. Rockets ship out second-round pick.
