Los Angeles Lakers

We know the Los Angeles Lakers will strive to improve this offseason, even coming off of their inspiring 2020 NBA championship.

Holiday would be a great fit for the Lakers, a veteran guard who can defend at a high level but can also score in bursts when needed.

A few added bonuses for the Lakers: Holiday spent time in New Orleans with Anthony Davis. Holiday and Davis are extremely familiar with each other, which could make Holiday’s transition to the Lakers a smooth one.

Also, Holiday attended UCLA. He probably won’t have complete say over where he lands until he’s a free agent. But if he wants to go back home to Los Angeles, he’d have the opportunity to help the Lakers try to win back-to-back titles.
