The Utah Jazz Have two new Clippers

Mo Williams is our new point guard and as seen in these highlights he is a good one, he made his last all-star appearance in 2009,
Randy Foye will be a valuable piece to us if he plays to his full potential, which is a good thing.

Jazz acquire Clipper SG Randy Foye


The Utah Jazz have officially signed Randy Foye to a 1 year 2.5 million deal.  Foye has averaged over his career 11.6 points, 2.4 boards, 3.2 assists, and 86% free throw shooting over a 389 game career, in which he started 214.  Foye was a solid starter for the Clippers and us Jazz fans hope he can put up good numbers for us.  I for one hope he is ok coming off the bench behind Hayward because we need Hayward to keep starting.  For the most part the Jazz have had a good off-season, Losing: The Injury-Prone Josh Howard, The very streaky CJ Miles, The off-and-on Devin Harris, and the "I hate Utah" Raja Bell, while Grabbing: A New leader Mo Williams, A Average Starter Marvin Williams, A Decent starter Randy Foye, A Rookie Kevin Murphy. Which I think is a good swap except for Kevin Murphy, but he is just a rookie.

The new good question is can we make the Playoffs again this year even with a stronger Sacramento, Golden State, and Minnesota, while the Nuggets are staying just as good and the Suns, Mavs, and Rockets are declining quickly? I say,

The Jazz trade Devin Harris, signal that Mo Williams will start.

Devin Harris had some problems in Utah, and Kevin O' Conner was sure to get rid of the old and put in a new point. The trade will be official on July 11, and the Jazz will get Marvin Williams, a Small Forward drafted at #2 that hasn't panned out as planned.
The Jazz traded for Mo on June 29 and, in my opinion, immediately became better. Above is a picture of the most likely starters, which include (left to right) Mo Williams, Gordon Hayward, Paul Millsap, Al Jefferson, Marvin Williams. The Jazz also have bought out Raja Bell's contract, which was around 3 million. As of today the Jazz have 13 men on the roster and have a 5 million Mid-Level Exception which would allow them to sign a free agent for 5 million dollars. Some options for this exception would be Steve Novak, a very good three point sharpshooter, Andrei Kirelinko, the Russian, or maybe just sticking with the same club. When this comes down to it only Kevin O' Conner knows what will happen. He might even not know what yet, but what ever way he goes, I know from the past, that he will make our team better this off-season.
