After eleven seasons with the Chicago Bulls, Pippen, the franchise's second all-time leader in points, assists, and steals, was traded by the rebuilding Bulls in 1998 to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Roy Rogers and a 2nd round pick in the 2000 NBA draft (Jake Voskuhl). Pippen's trade to Houston for the lockout-shortened season received much publicity, including his only solo cover of "Sports Illustrated". In order for the Rockets to create enough salary-cap room to acquire Pippen, Charles Barkley said that he sacrificed greatly as he signed a five-year $67.2 million contract before the previous season. Pippen's salary was $11 million, almost four times what it had been the previous season with the Chicago Bulls, $2.775 million.
