I would trade BOTH Barbosa and Bayless at the trade deadline this season.
Barbosa is 30+ veteran on an expiring contract, who could give any playoff team a scoring punch off the bench - no brainer to me.
Bayless is Barbosa-lite, playing as a PG. Although he could be a Barbosa-type player, I can't help but get the feeling from watching him, that he's not the type of person who would accept that role. He has a chip on his shoulder and a constant scowl that make me feel like he thinks he's better than everybody else and will only be happy being "the man". At the end of the day, there's no way I would extend the $4.16M qualifying offer after the season to keep him as a backup, whether it's as a PG, SG or some sort of hybrid.
