Aaron Holiday currently plays in Italy for Maxima Roma, but his contract includes an NBA buyout clause capped at $850,000. MaxContract suggests adding Aaron to join his older brother Jrue Holiday would provide reliable ball-handling and veteran stability, particularly as Scoot Henderson continues to struggle with turnovers alongside Damian Lillard.
