Ten-year veterans usually sign with teams that have hopes of contending for the playoffs. 33-year-old role players usually don’t sign on to the veteran’s minimum to join a rebuilding project.
That is what Randy Foye did last summer by joining the Brooklyn Nets.
Foye was unspectacular this past season for the Nets. He shot 36 percent from the field and just 33 percent from beyond the arc. For a starting shooting guard whose primary role was to score, his five points per game weren’t ideal for a Nets squad whose offense was predicated on hitting the long-ball.
