I could see a Marcus Smart or Dillon Brooks being an option if you can stomach the questionable shooting. Caruso would be solid but doesn't offer a ton of playmaking. Bruce Brown? He's also not a great shooter and I'm not sure he's that impactful defensively. Dejounte Murray fits the bill on paper (if you can motivate him to defend again). However, if he can't play with Trae I'm not sure he would be any better with Luka/Kyrie.
I believe Caruso makes the most sense of that group. I think he provides enough playmaking (you don't need a ton with both Luka and Kyrie) can shoot well enough to stretch the floor, and he is an elite perimeter defender. He is also one of the most likely available in trade. With only one year left (in the offseason), not sure what the cost would be.
