The former number three overall pick in the 2003 draft was most recently with the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2021-22 seasons. Anthony was not on an NBA team this season.
Carmelo Anthony was with the Chicago Bulls…for a week
Anthony was a short-term member of the Bulls during the 2018-19 season. According to WGN, Anthony was traded to the Bulls by the Houston Rockets in a move for the Rockets to save cap space:
“With the nature of the deal being only for salary, there was little chance that Anthony would take the floor for the Bulls, but he was officially a member of the team for a little over a week.”
Anthony was a ten-time All-Star during his career in the NBA and a three-time gold medalist for the US in the Olympics. He was a much-decorated athlete but probably wouldn’t have greatly impacted the 2018-19 Bulls. It still would have been fun to see him play in a Bulls uniform though.
