Kelly signed a contract Thursday with Real Betis of the Spanish ACB league, international beat writer David Pick reports.
EDGE Analysis
After spending his first three years in Los Angeles with the Lakers, Kelly moved to Atlanta for the 2016-17 campaign, but struggled to receive much playing time. He took part in just 16 games, averaging 1.6 points and 1.1 rebounds across 6.9 minutes. After failing to see much interest on the open free agent market this offseason, the sharpshooting big man will head overseas in an attempt to restore his value.

Kelly was waived by the Rockets on Friday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockets acquired Kelly last week prior to the Chris Paul trade, and while it looked as though Kelly was going to be headed to Los Angeles as part of the deal, the Rockets ultimately held onto him. However, Houston never had any plans to keep Kelly beyond Friday, as his contract for next season would have become guaranteed had he remained on the roster on July 8. Kelly will now become an unrestricted free agent and will look to catch on with another team as a reserve stretch-four.

Kelly was dealt from the Rockets to the Clippers, David Aldridge of NBA.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being traded from the Hawks to the Rockets in exchange for cash considerations, Kelly is now a member of the Clippers, although it's likely he will be waived shortly. Kelly isn't expected to be of much use to the Clippers if he does stay, considering his averages of just 1.6 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.3 blocks across 7.84 per tilt during his 2016-17 campaign with the Hawks.

Kelly was dealt from the Hawks to the Rockets on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, Bob Rathburn of Fox Sports Southeast reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Hawks likely weren't planning on using Kelly much next season considering he played just 110 minutes this past year, so they've opted to send him to Houston in exchange for financial flexibility. His intended strength is primarily as a floor spacer, as he's a 6-11 forward with a career three-point percentage of 31.6 percent. While that's not great, Kelly is still just 25-years-old and has only taken 323 attempts from deep.

Kelly will be active for Monday's contest against the Celtics, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll be active, it's unlikely that Kelly will see the floor. That being said, if he does manage to get some run, it probably won't translate into significant fantasy production, and it's doubtful he'll become a regular part of the Hawks' rotation.

Kelly is inactive for Friday's tilt against the Heat, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
After signing with the Hawks on Thursday, Kelly will have to wait to take the floor with the team. That being said, he likely won't crack the rotation, and could remain inactive for a stretch.

Kelly and the Hawks have agreed on a contract through the end of this season, Chris Vivlamore of AJC.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly was waived by the Hawks on Jan. 7 as a result of the trade that sent Kyle Korver to the Cavaliers, but has been re-acquired by the team. Kelly has only appeared in nine games this season, and will likely hold a similar role once more with the team, making him largely irrelevant in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.

Kelly was waived by the Hawks on Friday, ESPN.com's Marc Stein reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though the Hawks' trade that will send Kyle Korver to the Cavaliers isn't yet official, Atlanta is expected to take back Mike Dunleavy and Mo WIlliams (ankle) in the deal, so they preemptively opted up a roster spot by letting Kelly go. The 25-year-old averaged only 5.2 minutes per game in his nine appearances with the Hawks this season. Assuming he goes unclaimed off waivers, Kelly will likely attempt to find a home in the D-League.

Kelly will sit out Friday's game due to the birth of his child, and return for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly missed Wednesday's game against the Knicks for the same reason. He has averaged just 5.2 minutes over nine games this season, and likely won't crack the rotation much upon his return anyways.

Kelly is dealing with a personal issue and will not play in Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
While specifics have not been released, Kelly will be away from the team Wednesday, while his status for Friday's matchup with the Pistons remains unclear as well. That said, Kelly has averaged just 5.2 minutes over nine games this season and even when healthy, likely won't see much court time in competitive contests.
