Joseph Leynard Smith a.k.a. “Silk” and “Smooth Joe” (born July 26, 1975, in Norfolk, Virginia) is an American professional basketball player for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA. His height is listed as 6’10″.

For the 07-08 season, Smith signed with the Chicago Bulls. With his career winding down and the Bulls considered a contender, it was seen as his best opportunity to win a title. Smith played very well for the Bulls, but the rest of the team struggled mightily. Smith was traded in a three team deal at the trade deadline to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavs traded Smith to the Oklahoma City Thunder on August 13, 2008, as part of a three-team deal that also included the Milwaukee Bucks.
