I don't think that is possible. Since our "1" is a guard and we have two "2" guards, the "3" has to be either a big wing or center. Unless you keep THJ and move one of our "2" for a center or big wing (interesting enough there are almost no centers or wings on the secondary playmaker list).
Assuming we are looking at "3", Iztok has following big wings or centers who might be available (in order): Harris, Oubre, Gallo, Boucher (FA). Looks like only Harris would be good enough of those to make sense.
THJ and Bullock for Harris would be a move that would consolidate our team nicely according to Iztok classes. Both would be an upgrade over whatever Philly has in "3" and "4" class atm.

I think coaching change is what caused his fall. Kidd wanted him to do more than just spot up threes and he was basically thrown in an inefficient chucker role again. Besides, he played a lot of his minutes in those terrible double center rotations from start of the season.
