Aaron Holiday won’t receive a qualifying offer from the Suns, tweets Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The 25-year-old point guard was eligible for a QO of $5,791,702.
Holiday, a solid defender, appeared in 22 games for Phoenix this season after being acquired from the Wizards in a February trade. He was part of the Suns’ rotation, averaging 6.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 16.3 minutes per night.
The decision will make Holiday unrestricted when free agency kicks off Thursday. He spent the first three years of his career with the Pacers after being selected with the 23rd pick in the 2018 draft.
Excels at defense????
The Holidays all play good defense
So we pass on Halliburton for Jalen Smith. Trade Smith for Holiday. Are dumping Holiday for nothin. We could really use a backup PG and may need a big man. Hmmmm
They did not offer a QO to Smith Last year. Payton will be the backup Big. They have Bismark to backup Ayton.
@dasam… too true your points!
Sadly, as I have been saying for the last couple years, PHO front office is a total mess, good times ain’t coming to Arizona any time soon!
Felt like he was someone that should have been used better in Phoemox as a catch and shoot guy, but he didnt see minutes in matchups he could have been useful in
