1. Trade for a bad salary guy that we believe will also be a 3rd guy contributor (think Paul, Hayward, Porter,...)
2. Trade for a bad salary guy that will get us an asset (think Dieng, Felicio, Waiters,...)
I wouldn't go for any role players, as we have enough already. We wouldn't get a lot, just risk effect on chemistry. And we certainly don't need better number 10-15 guys.
We can't get any major guys as we don't have assets.
Next season could be a different situation. We will have THJ expiring, 2020 first rounder, next tradeable first rounder will be a year closer, so we might be able to jump into a favorable trade, if opportunity appears.
I wouldn't pursue either of those options, and I think their are others. The salaries of our deep stable of role players are structured such that some of those guys could be very trade-able. I definitely don't want to trade just to trade. I'm content with seeing what this team can do. But, if something we like pops up, it's possible that some of our modestly priced but productive role players could be packaged.
