Released by Pels
Smith was released by the Pelicans on Friday, Shams Charania of The Vertical reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran joined the Pelicans as an injury exemption late last month, and his stay with the team was always expected to be a brief one. Smith appeared in only three contests for New Orleans, logging only 12 total minutes and scoring two points to go with four rebounds. The 31-year-old will look to catch on with another team but may end up back overseas, where he spent much of last season.

After a turbulent season in which he was released by Detroit and made a brief stint in Houston, Smith will play his upcoming 12th season with the Clippers. Smith, who struggled with concerns about efficiency and decision-making in Detroit, seemed to have a resurgence coming off the bench in Houston. The veteran saw career-lows in both field-goal and free-throw percentage last season (42 percent and 50 percent, respectively) after a grossly inefficient start to the season. Despite his struggles from the field and the line, Smith boasted a relatively complete stat line, averaging 12.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steal, and 1.4 blocks in 28 minutes per game. Throughout his 11 NBA seasons, Smith has proven to be an elite option for defensive stats, averaging 1.2 steals per game and 1.5 blocks per game on his career. Despite his past fantasy effectiveness, Smith should see a reduced role in LA as he will serve as a backup to star power forward Blake Griffin. Between his efficiency woes and his likely reduction in minutes, Smith may see less fantasy relevance in 2015-16 than he has at any point in his career.
