As the Knicks shape the organization’s plans entering free agency and the 2020/21 campaign, people within the organization are interested in a reunion with Justin Holiday, SNY’s Ian Begley writes.
Holiday, 31, played with the Knicks during the 2016/17 campaign as he appeared in all 82 games (four starts). The California native was an effective bench piece for New York, averaging 7.7 PPG and 2.7 RPG while shooting a career-best 43.3% from the field.
As Begley writes, Holiday is viewed by many as a steadying locker room presence and reliable veteran that can help any team. He spent last season with the Pacers alongside one of his two NBA brothers, Aaron Holiday. Indiana made the postseason but lost to the Heat in a four-game sweep.
While several reports indicate that the Pacers are focused on re-signing the unrestricted free agent, Holiday should have no shortage of potential suitors this winter.
Holiday never played for Thibodeau
yes…..he did…b4 coming to the pacers..
where are you getting this information from?
Holiday would be a good fit. I expect every significant guy they add to be a good defender and at least a capable 3 pt shooter.
His stint with Knicks was decent. For 20 mins a gm he was a good bench player. We need team players. Especially ones who play D. Seems Knicks trying to find good teammates who play D. Thibs is going to lead this team. It’s all about the rebuild. You have to stay true to that. Especially with three picks coming up. Knicks are in no rush. Draft then we’ll see about FA. TG if you play D and can shoot. You should ask for a tryout. We need shooters.
As I said before
Knicks need everything therefore they want everyone
Knicks have targeting about 25 first round draft prospects in this month draft
Justin Holiday is not good.
Wasn’t he playing for the Knicks a couple of years ago? Weird!
yes he came in the derrick rose trade
This guy already past 30. Can we go younger please
This just in…Knicks interested in every player with any name recognition in the NBA. They have some holes to fill and this guy could theoretically fill one or two. Stay tuned for more updates.
