My zafira brakes are overheating and seizing?

Why are my Zafira 2001 brakes seizing and overheating causing the front left and back right wheels to smoke. We have already replaced the master cylinder, what else could it be?

on the front have to remove pads and check caliper piston is not seized,check pads are nice and free in the bridge where the pads are mounted also the caliper slides under the two small gaiters are not sticking.Assemble with copaslip on all mating surfaces.On the rear check the h/brake cable isnt seized and the levers on the shoes are free,check the adjusters are all turning and again assemble with copaslip.
