The New Orleans Pelicans have signed Greg Smith to a non-guaranteed deal.

The Pelicans are thin at center following the injuries to Omer Asik and Alexis Ajinca.

The Pelicans have several players vying for the remaining two spots on their 15-man roster.

Smith spent three seasons with the Houston Rockets before joining the Dallas Mavericks.

This guy was garbage for the Mavs even during garbage minutes.

good finisher around the rim

Fact is that momentum in games is a real thing, while not tangible itself, you can tangibly see the effect it has when teams are on runs and how it can dramatically effect the outcome of games when you can generate any momentum.
