The New Orleans Pelicans are nearing an agreement with Ish Smith, a point guard who played with the Philadelphia 76ers last season, per Scott Kushner.
Breaking: Sources indicate #Pelicans are nearing agreement to sign Ish Smith and he's currently in New Orleans. Waiting for waviers to clear

The added bit of news about him being in New Orleans makes this almost a done deal. It is very likely that Ish Smith clears waivers on Monday at 5pm and ends up handling a large portion of the team’s minutes at the lead guard spot.
