You can have all the shooters in the world but they aren't going to be worth a damn if they can never get open shots. We'll see.

I definitely felt the Jazz needed to sign another wing, and Foye is a solid choice. I think they needed one that could play SF, but that doesn't mean I don't like it.
Murphy certainly wouldn't have expected to be a rotation player, but I expect him signed and to be the fifth/sixth wing. What's interesting is that realistically speaking, only Marvin and Hayward can really claim to be small forwards, yet they are the projected starters at the wing (man, I completely forgot about Carroll). Can Foye and Burks be the wings on the floor at the same time? That's pretty small. And no, Foye is nowhere near point guard material.
Williams/Watsley/Tinston
Hayward \
Williams /Foye-Burks--Caroll-Murphy
Millsap/Favors/Evans
Jefferson/Kanter
I approve.

All our bigs can collapse the defense. You might be wondering how many of them can pass the ball out though....

I like Foye because he can help spread the floor. Great pickup, he can backup Mo Williams and play a little SG.
Mo Williams (30), Foye (18)
Hayward (20), Burks (24), Foye (4)
Marvin Williams (27), Hayward (11), Millsap (10)
Derrick Favors (32), Millsap (18)
Jefferson (30), Kanter (18)

Or on the bench? I mean, does anyone really think we're closing games with Foye? Just sayin'. I actually like the pickup but man oh man, Burks is gonna get screwed and this board is going to melt down.
Or maybe this is a harbinger of Jefferson, Millsap and Burks for Dwight.

Foye is not anywhere near able to be a point guard.

Our best player gets only 28 minutes? LOL. Watson and Tinsley with 82 DNP's? LOL.
I don't think we're in the market for a ball-dominant, pass-first PF right now. Houston definitely needs to make some moves though to even out their roster.

So that will be 14. There's not a chance in hell Raja will be with the team come training camp.
Murphy will definitely play in the D-league. He showed promise, but was pretty inconsistent in SL. Jazz just got deeper. If everyone's healthy, yes, there are problems with PT at the bigs, wings and even PG. But how many players end up playing in 82 games. How many teams don't have one or even two serious injuries at some point to deal with?
Difference is that Harris had some trade value. Who are we swapping Earl Watson for? If we have any positional need it's for a center, but no one is going to give us a center for Earl Watson.

I dont mind the trade from afar. I havent watched foye in many games, so dont have a proper basis to assess he fundamentals - the highlights certainly show he can throw an alley oop pass.
We really dont want to be playing watson do we? Watson was horrid the second half of last season - his jump shot was wayway off - I know his shooting form has always been a bit weird, but it started looking like he was shot putting that ball! He became non-existant on offence. A rotation of mo, foye, burks and tinsley thru pg/sg should work ok - with hayward and marv doing the sf with a little SG.

Obv. a filler with Jeff or Sap
How do the Jazz keep things so quiet? I'm not sure how much the Jazz are paying Foye but he seems like a solid addition.

Link from bleacherreport or it didn't happen.
Maybe, but backup PG isn't out of the question.
After what was shown in Summer League, Foye might be a better PG option than Burks.
