CLEVELAND _ Close to five years after pursuing him in free agency, the Bulls landed Carmelo Anthony.
Just like then, he won't suit up for the Bulls.
The Bulls will acquire Anthony from the Rockets once the league office reopens for business after the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday but then waive the 10-time All-Star, a source said.
The Bulls may wait to waive Anthony to see if his expiring deal can be moved for an asset before the Feb. 7 trade deadline. Either way, he won't play for the Bulls.
The Bulls, who had an open roster spot, engineered the trade for cash and to help lessen the Rockets' luxury tax bill.
