No.

I want to see what he can do in Washington where he does not have to be the 2nd option and doesn't have to handle the point.
Sadly, I have to say that he wasn't capable to fulfill the teams expectations. I wish him the best. He can still be a solid player in this league and I will continue to follow his games.

I was endlessly frustrated by Foye. He had some spectacular games and some useful skills and can be a useful player, but he's a clearly flawed player and I was not particularly sad to see him leave.

So, no I have no regrets about trading him.

while I miss Randy as a player I still don't regret trading him for a shot at a (super)star.

I still use him at 2k9 to kick other teams asses. he's a surprisingly great finisher at the rim there too.

In my opinion, Foye's top end was as the worst starter or possibly the sixth man on a contending team. He was going to demand more than he was worth as a free agent, and he was always going to be compared to Roy. I think he'll be better in Washington than he ever would have been here. I also think that even if Rubio doesn't play for us, his rights will fetch us something more valuable than Foye down the road. So no, I don't miss him.

Agreed.
He was one of my favorite players on the team. Most of the time he could do no wrong in my eyes. Much like most of you with Craig Smith.

Sig it baby.

And if we really missed him, we could always make an offer in 2010, so we wouldn't have to miss him long. I don't see that happening.

I miss mike miller more than randy foye.

I don't really miss Foye. I did like him and I think he is a nice piece to have. A lot of people hated him, I always enjoyed him even though he did frustrate at times. I hope he does well in Wash and I am still a fan of his. Same can be said for Craigers and Bassy. I will always follow those guys.

I miss Maddog more than any of those guys.

I miss Foye, but I'm glad he's in greener pastures. He sort of marked my rebirth of a creepy obsession with the Wolves and the NBA in general, so I'll always be a huge fan. I blame his development on all the coaching and philosophy changes he was probably a victim of. Unfortuneatly, he is STILL under the tutalidge of TWITTMAN, but hopefully Flip will bring out the best in him. Mini-Wade he is not, but he still has the potential to be a significant piece on a contender.

I wouldn't say he is/was unpopular. He's a good guy and and a solid player but he is a sixth man on a good team. We need to find our first, third, and fifth men though, so moving him for a shot at a star player makes sense for us.

Personally, I just grew tired of the inconsistency. In his rookie year, he was more of an attack guard and a crunch time scorer. After his injury, he became more of a shooter and less of an attacker. I just wonder if lost some confidence with that injury. If he gets that back and attacks the basket more, he'll be a valuable player for the Wiz. I would like to see him succeed but it was still the right move for the Wolves to trade him.

ill wait and see ,you guys act like rubio is already a superstar

Foye may not have been the best player but at least he and AJ worked well together
i thought our january was awesome until AJ went down injured too ,the team was just starting to come together and form some chemistry
now we have to start all over AGAIN

They worked when Foye was hot be he went on long hot and cold spells. I was pretty tired of his inconsistency.

He is closer to a poor mans Arenas than he is to Hughes.
