Defensive 2/3s: Tony Allen, Childress, Barnes, Azubuike, Quinton Ross, James Jones

If CV is moved: Carl Landry, DeSagana Diop, Stromile Swift
Because he's going to be good: Louis Williams
I wouldnt be mad signing any of these players. Granted some wouldnt require the full MLE.

Not one of you bring up any WINNERS! You are always looking for steals and quick fixes and stop gaps from losing teams!
Get me some WINNERS!

Josh Childress is soft as butter and is a lite player like Villanueva. I like Landry though...

Not a bad target for a backup SG/SF off the bench. I'm familiar with his offensive game, what can you tell me about his defense?
Speaking as someone who's seen about half of Jarvis' NBA games, he's a very poor defender - even though he does give effort. At forward, he's not as tall/long as listed, and most NBA 3's shoot right over the top of him. Guys like Ras Butler have had career days against him. At guard - thanks to 2 serious knee injuries, he doesn't have the mobility to cover even mediocre 2's. Someone did a study a few months ago ranking defensive players last season - can't remember who and the factors he used. I believe Jarvis came in last place - or very close to it - among all NBA players.
Btw, stay away from Kwame Brown - for sanity sake. He is an excellent low post man-o-man defender but a very poor help defender. And his hands get worse every year. The talent (even offensively) is there, but the work ethic and attitude are not.
