I'm in total agreement on affalo, though. Hard nosed defender who can shoot coming off the bench? Yes please.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

No need for more young wings of any kind ... we need vets to go along with our VERY young core ... DeMar and James Johnson are great pieces to move ahead with at the 2-3 ... Bargnani or Ed will be filling the void at the other forward ... We don't need youth anywhere I don't think - except whatever we grab in the draft (Kyrie, Williams or bust).The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.

Another player that we might be able to make a run at vis a trade is Nicolas Batum. With the arrival of Gerald Wallace, the fact that Roy and Wes Mathews are locked in for a few more years and players like Luke Babbitt and and Rudy Fernandez on on the team, Batum may be gettable.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

Daequan Cook should be given a look and I think he'll be fairly cheap.
A guy like Francisco Garcia, while not young, might be a decent pick up (trade needed).
If Barbosa opts out, go get Afflalo and try to sell him on 6th man of the year.
JR Smith might be worth the gamble if not too expensive - every team needs 1 head case, lol, it keeps things interesting.
Gallinari would be a great pick up as well (trade).

Garcia would be helping SAC, I would want Thompson and/or their pick as well.
Barbosa won't opt out for sure. He has nagging injuries that will hurt his $ chances and he will not get those dollars elsewhere. He would also quite possibly feel he could get traded as a chip and have backroom talks with BC...if of course HE is still around.
JR Smith is a potential backup, but like you said, would need to be cheap. He toned down his antics this year, but how much is that in deference to Karl?

Redd would be good for solving the lack of a long range scorer. He's come out and proclaimed he will get back to where he was. Sounds like he's motivated. If he can be had for a reasonable price I think it would be a good idea. He was always a solid leader on the Bucks before he got seriously injured. He might strongly consider Toronto for his official comeback because they're not loaded at the wing.
