Indiana Pacers SF Justin Holiday

The Indiana Pacers are struggling right now, and are apparently monitoring offers on their two best players, Malcolm Brogdon and Domantas Sabonis. This points towards the Pacers potentially being sellers at this year’s trade deadline. Justin Holiday may be a guy who could potentially be available. Holiday brings the wing defense that the Hornets so desperately lack and also brings a veteran presence. Holiday is also connecting on 39% of his shots from deep, which would help provide more spacing to the Hornets offense. The one downside is him being 31 and having 3 more years left on his current contract but at an affordable price of $5.7 million. He should not be expensive, some salary filler and a couple of low-to-mid-tier young assets should be enough to do the trick.
