2. Justin Holiday

Justin Holiday is not someone that a lot of casual NBA fans know about. Of course, anyone that watches the league a good amount knows who Holiday is, but the casual fan that only watches the Los Angeles Lakers is likely unfamiliar with the 30-year-old shooting guard.

Holiday is a veteran of six teams and is actually someone that we have campaigned for before as a potential trade target for the Lakers. Now that he is a free agent, he would be a fantastic role player to bring in and score around 10 points a night, which is all the Lakers need.

Holiday has broken out the last two years, averaging 11.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 35.3 percent from three-point land. He is a lanky shooting guard that can play off-ball and provide better defense than the Lakers currently have.

Holiday is likely someone that the Lakers can still manage to bring in even if the team signs Leonard. He has not appeared to have much of a market this offseason and the fact that he has lasted this long in free agency indicates that his contract will likely be one year for close to the minimum.

He is not the best shooting guard left on the market, as the best is going to be the next guy mentioned. However, he would still be a great pickup for the Lakers.
