Carmelo Anthony’s 2019 NBA odyssey continues.
The Houston Rockets will trade Anthony to the Chicago Bulls with cash on Tuesday, ESPN reported.
The one-time Knicks forward, who played just 10 games with the Rockets before they parted ways, will most likely be released and become a free agent again. He averaged a career-low 13.4 points with Houston this season as things went awry for the 10-time All-Star.
With the trade, the Rockets make room for Kenneth Faried, added to the lineup after being waived by the Nets.
Anthony, who hopes to continue his 14th NBA season, has been heavily complimented by good friend LeBron James, who has endorsed bringing him along for the ride with the Lakers. Los Angeles still has interest in Anthony, but it does not want to waive a guaranteed player to free up a roster spot for him, according to ESPN. The Lakers remain a potential destination if a spot on the roster opens up.
