In addition to the Nuggets, Smith has also played for the Detroit Pistons, Washington Wizards, Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns, Orlando Magic, Charlotte Hornets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, New Orleans Pelicans, Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors. 

He has career averages of 7.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per contest while shooting 42.9% from the field and 32.3% from the three-point range in 762 regular season games (he has also appeared in 23 NBA playoff games). 

Since Smith has extensive experience playing for many teams (and is now an NBA Champion), he could be a good pickup for a franchise that is looking to add a point guard. 

He would be a fantastic mentor for young players on a developing team or provide valuable depth to the end of a contending team's bench. 

13 teams in 13 seasons.
