Default sticking brakes

I'd be grateful for some advice here, fellas.

I have a '98 2-door S10 4X4 Blazer with 209k miles. She purrs like a kitten <most of the time>.

Recently I've been having some problems with the brake calipers sticking. It doesn't always happen though. About a month ago I pulled off the front wheels and greased the caliper pins on both sides. It is back to pulling to the right when I hit the brakes. Yesterday, the left front brakes stuck so hard they were smoking when I got home. I know that grease couldn't have worn off in a month's time so I am suspecting there might be a different cause. Can someone shed some light here?

Many many thanks!

Sounds as if your rubber brake lines are bad. They can collapse on the inside and hold pressure/ not relieve pressure in the caliper. Calipers wear out, too, and you have a pile of miles...
