The Indiana Pacers have been in headlines at times in NBA trade rumors as the February 10 deadline approaches mostly due to key starters like Myles Turner, Caris LeVert, and Domantas Sabonis at times. One intriguing option that has caught the attention of many teams is Justin Holiday.

Holiday, who is earning roughly $6 million this season, is signed through 2022-23 and offers strong value for a team that needs another catch-and-shoot threat with length to make some defensive impact.

According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Indiana Pacers are seeking two second-round picks in exchange for Justin Holiday in talks ahead of the NBA trade deadline.

While Holiday has struggled to convert consistently in spot-up situations this season, he’s been highly effective in off-ball screening actions and has made an impact in DHOs. His ability to fill a motion shooting role in a half-court offense makes him a more appealing option than the typical catch-and-shoot threat.

The expiring contract of Jeremy Lamb has been another under-the-radar veteran option that has been mentioned in some trade rumors as the deadline nears.
