I think that's a pretty hard question. There's room for someone new, especially a swingman who can play at the two and three spots. If it's a good enough player, leftover minutes at SF with Tay on the bench isn't going to be enough, so he's going to have to take some minutes at guard. That puts Affalo back into the five to ten minute a game world with a reasonable number of DNPs. Anybody coming in for that kind of money is going to have to play and that will take minutes from the existing bench.
I'd bundle those guys and grab Miller off the Memphis fire sale. He isn't going to stop LBJ (thought I'd tie in the actual subject of this thread) on defense, but maybe if the Pistons score more than 80 points or so those fourth quarter heroics will turn into a futile rain of threes and LBJ is pretty easy to guard from there.
