According to Yahoo Sports:
The Washington Wizards have acquired Minnesota Timberwolves guards Randy Foye(notes) and Mike Miller(notes) for Etan Thomas(notes), Oleksiy Pecherov(notes) and Darius Songaila and the fifth pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, a league executive with knowledge of the deal told Yahoo! Sports.
Wow....not really a big fan of the deal.

This is a solid deal for Washington. One of the best deals of the year.

Well we strengthened our backup PG and SG/SF spot while getting rid of three scrubs. Still I thought we could have done better...

Meh...uninspired boring move. Although Foye intrigues me. He can be good under the right coaching staff.
I would have rather preferred sorry azz Desuck going instead of DSongs.

its actually not a horrible trade....Miller is better than Hughes..and Foye was a very high lottery pick a few years ago....Miller is going to make us very dangerous...he can rebound and get alot of assists too..very good all around player

does Randy Foye make Jamison play better defense?

This team never ceases to amaze me...
EDIT:
After looking at some reports... both are pretty good players.. Hope it works out good for us... Atleast we gave them our trash... Too bad we had to give up the #5...

Yeah...really can't complain. Miller is solid and EG did manage to get Foye as well who had a killer year last year.

I must say....
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEE THIS DEAL!!!! HELL YEAH! Get rid of Etan, Darious, O-Pec, for Foye AND Mike Miller!?!?!? I'd take Foye over Tyreke Evans, DeRozen, and Steph Curry anyday. I would of loved to see this team draft Jordan Hill though but whatever! I am a huge Randy fan since his days at Nova and he was the last person I'd see the Wolves trading away!
Ohhh happpy dayyyyyyyyyyyy!
