Carmelo Anthony will not play a game for the Bulls, but it is possible that franchise holds off on waiving him until the trade deadline, league sources tell ESPN. Bulls could include him in a one-for-one trade, but can't aggregate his contract in another deal.

Melo lasted 10 games with the Rockets this season, before being shutdown for not being a good fit. Hopefully, the future Hall-of-Famer can resume his career somewhere.
