After signing with the Houston Rockets last summer, 10-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony only played 10 games for them before leaving the squad as the team explored its options for getting off his contract.

On Tuesday, the Rockets traded him, sending him and a couple of other pieces to the Chicago Bulls for the rights to Tadija Dragicevic, a player whom the Utah Jazz selected 53rd overall in the 2008 draft but never played in the NBA.
