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

I like it. He averaged 11.0 ppg last year and shot 39% from 3. And he can create off the dribble. You have to think he will be used as a 2 like he was mostly for the Clippers last year
 
Also agree this seems like a harbringer for some sort of move. We're definitely not going in with Watson, Tinsley along with Foye and Mo
 
Remember when we picked up Mo Williams and people thought it was a sign that Harris would get traded? Earl Watson has been in a few trade rumors. He's probably on the block. I think Foye is basically a back-up combo, though he could take some minutes from Burks/Hayward at the 2-guard. Lets see if Watson gets moved with one of our bigs or for a pick.

Edit: a bit late on this comment, sorry.

Even if he is in the D-League he still counts towards the roster count. Chances are the Jazz aren't going to carry 15 players, as they want the extra spot for trade flexibility. If they buy-out Raja they might sign him.

Yeah but you were counting Bell, and he's gone, even if its not formally official yet
 
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.
 
Watson + Al Jeff for Royce White? or for something? It seems like a strange roster as currently comprised.
 
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.
 
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.
