Chris Copeland: Waived by Pelicans
Copeland was waived by the Pelicans on Monday, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
Copeland was with the Pelicans on a training camp deal and never really appeared to have a strong chance of making the regular season roster. He was cut early enough to have an opportunity to latch on elsewhere, but Copeland will have an uphill battle to make any team. He saw action in just 24 games for the Bucks last season, averaging 2.1 points over 6.5 minutes per outing while shooting 33.3 percent from the floor.

Pelicans' Chris Copeland: Gets training camp invite from New Orleans
Copeland signed a training camp contract with the Pelicans on Thursday, Brett Dawson of the New Orleans Advocate reports.
The Pelicans, like any other NBA team, have the ability to bring no more than 20 players to training camp before trimming their roster to 15 before the season begins. Copeland, who is coming off a miserable season with the Bucks that culminated in his release in February, figures to be one of the five players on the outside looking in for a roster berth. During the 2015-16 campaign, the forward averaged just 2.1 points in 6.5 minutes per game across 24 appearances while shooting 33.3 percent from the field and 27.8 percent from three-point range.

Chris Copeland: Waived by Magic
Copeland will be waived by Orlando just after being claimed off waivers from Milwaukee on Wednesday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
This move by the Magic ultimately allows the organization to get above the salary floor as they had no intent to actually utilize Copeland on the court. He has the ability to stretch the court at the power forward position, but his lack of defensive abilities has prevented him from court time in the past and will likely be the biggest determining factor in whether or not another NBA team will take a chance on him in the future.
