It’s being reported OKC has acquired Randy Foye from the Denver Nuggets in exchange for Steve Novak, DJ Augustin, and two second round picks. To be blunt, this does nothing for me. It gives the Thunder another wing player who is an average defender. Foye is a ten year vet who was drafted out of Villanova as the seventh overall pick by Boston. He’s currently having the worst shooting season of his career at .351% and .296%.
Not sure where his minutes will come from given he’s not a better defender than either Waiters or Singler. He’s certainly not a better three point shooter than Morrow and he’s certainly not in Roberson’s class as a defender. Maybe there’s more to Roberson’s injury than we’ve been told so far.
The Thunder do create an open roster space and have cut a bit of salary as well.
Certainly nothing here which moves the Thunder in a big way. About what was expected. But I’ve always liked Randy Foye, especially about four years earlier in his career.
