Plenty of uncertainty surrounds point guard Jrue Holiday as he enters the open market as an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

Jrue Holiday may be entering a very congested free agency market next week, with several teams seeking long-term replacements at the position.

However, the potential destinations for Holiday may become severely limited if Chris Paul, Kyle Lowry, George Hill, Jeff Teague and others all opt to remain with their current teams.

With so much in flux, predicting where the 27-year-old will play next season is a difficult task.

During his eight seasons in the NBA, Holiday has entrenched himself as one of the most effective players at the position, securing an All-Star selection in 2013 and coming off an impressive 2016-17 season highlighted by averages of 15.4 points, 7.3 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game.

Franchises in need of a starting-caliber point guard will certainly pursue Holiday, as he can command a max contract of four-years, $130 million from any other team in the league, while the New Orleans Pelicans can retain his services with a $176 million deal over five years.

As teams begin the yearly churn of their rosters, Holiday will likely land a very rich deal in free agency at some point in July. Here’s a look at five potential landing spots for Holiday once free agency begins.
