I would re-sign Amir to a one-year deal, with the under-the-table agreement that shortly after signing, doctors would "discover" that he needs surgery and have to spend most of the year rehabbing from said surgery/injuries/etc. Get the injury exception for him, and keep him around to be the veteran voice in the locker room that every team needs. Then, when he comes back for playoffs, extend him.

Frankly, with more teams shifting to a ball-movement philosophy, it is even more important not to have a ball dominant PG. Teague is actually a great example - that's a guy no one offers the max for, but he works great in that system, because he can move the ball, shoot the 3, and defend.
Can penetrate and initiate the movement like Teague. His shooting is still a work in progress though
And is also a very good defender at the point

Yeah, Holiday would be nice except for the injuries. Not worth it if he can't play, and every indication is that he won't ever stay on the court for a full season again.

I like Joseph because I'm a fan of a) pass first point guards and b) defence at the point of attack (Joseph is potentially a premiere guard defender). Oh and c) any player coming out of that San Antonio system. I'd rather pay big money to wing players and bigs and have a serviceable point guard. Most championship teams were not led by point guards. Tony Parker is great (although the Spurs are the exception to every rule, plus they have always been a three headed monster with Manu and Duncan as well), but look at the other recent champion PG's. Chalmers. A barely alive Jason Kidd. Derek Fisher. Rondo was a 4th wheel when Boston won their championship.

Aside: (I am crazy enough to give someone like Nando a starting job if we go full tank to see what he's got)

And if we are tanking, starting Nando is not crazy at all.

If you see KeonClark in the wasteland, please share your food and water with him.
