He played well enough to get the coaching staff fired. And we want him why?
Holiday could be a good player for us.
He has a good size and length and plays defense well.
On the downside he is a poor shooter, injury prone and not a efficient PG.
Assuming a move for him would include Burke, then we would have a great length and defense from our starters and our bench. Such a move would probably get us into the playoffs. Personally I would not be willing to give up our 1st round pick for him. I don't think he is going to be much better than Dante next year. (I do have high hopes for Dante.)

I would do it for Burke + our 1st, though I see no reason why they would do that. We would have to offer something else to make it work, and I wouldn't send Booker.
If he was with us, i'd like to still have him play backup PG/6th man ala Isiah Thomas. If we kept his minutes to 26-28 per game, I think his injury problems of the past wouldn't be as much of a risk.
He would make us better, but I wouldn't want to give up anything significant to get him. We do have cap space and could target another PG just as easy.

Meh
no thank you
It is a 6% FG and 7% 3s improvement over the Jazz's current backup PG...
