Ric Bucher reporting Jazz have signed Randy Foye to a 1-year deal

[ema]

I tried to get excited when I heard this but...

I can't wait til this board has a hissy fit and people start whining over Harris' departure once they see how ****ty Mo is in transition...an area in which our team, minus Al, should flourish.

What's weird is that for all of Harris' speed, I didn't find him to be particularly good in transition.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

That answers that question.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

That answers that question.

You're a quick one.

 

[Stoked]

It's going to be a much better jazzfanz with KOC begone after Utah makes the playoffs.

I guess I am very much in the vast minority (perhaps only I) that like KOC Begone.

In what sense? Like a puppy you can't stop from ****ting on your floor and bites your ankles but you can't help but laugh?

Exactly. I hardly ever agree with him but he entertains me.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

I could swear KOCBEDUMB, BluesRocker, HeavenHarris, northeast (though he's posted much more intelligent commentary at points recently which makes me think otherwise), and a couple other handles were all the same dude.

Does this mean the Blake Ahearn experiment is over?

When did it start?

Possibly as I like them all. Heavenharris less than the others as he is less entertaining.

Stellar defenders? Wuh?

I think Foye is a really good defender. At least that's the impression I always got when I watched him. Marvin's a legit SF that's long and athletic; I think he's a significant improvement (defensively) over CJ or Josh. I always thought Harris was a good defender till he got here. I'm not sure if he lost a step or just didn't care anymore, but I think Mo's taking on the leader/captain role, and if he's doing that he knows he has bring it on D. So yes, I'm convinced that each offseason signing was a significant upgrade on defense.

 

[Stoked]

maybe not stellar defenders but good ones. That and the outside shooting these signings provide are areas of need for the jazz. None of them are huge upgrades but enough decent upgrades starts to add up. How many decent/ok upgrades before it starts making a real difference? 3? 4? 5?...

We are at 3 and it could be argues in a way to show up as 6 (miles, howard and bell being gone as 3 and Williams, williams and foye being added as 3).
