I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Korver hasn't agreed to the offer with the Bucks yet.

Mayo signing for the Bucks would make Monta Ellis another bullet we really have to dodge...

I hope, and it looks like, Lindsey & Co. are adhering to old adage that, "a bad deal is a bad deal". Meaning every player has a price. You go over that price on a player, and unless they're a transcendent player (a la James, Lebron) you have a bad deal.
I remember when ATL signed Joe Johnson to that insane deal a couple years ago and everyone (media) was saying, ATL had to do it. The media knew it was a bad deal, but in order for ATL to stay relevant, they HAD to do that deal and overpay him. Smash cut to last offseason when they couldn't unload his deal quick enough.
I much prefer the wait and see game and get shrewd deals because let's face it, no FA out there is going to significantly impact this team. Stay the course FO, Margo's got your back.

Ok....... No argument there.
Foye will almost certainly be back. Despite the irrational hate, he was one of the only vet role players worth a damn. Like you said, he's inexpensive for what he does. He'll get more PT on the Jazz than most other places. And the team is in desperate need for established veteran players to support and reinforce the youth core. I'd be very surprised if he ends up elsewhere.
Great news this.
Hopefully we can use our '14 on Barnes and grab him (GSW needs to make room for Howard).
That way we won't need to 'tank' this year - we can just click retart and start contending.

They are talking about a sign-and-trade that would involve Bogut and Thompson/Barnes going to the Lakers for the Dwightmare.
damn.
Hangon.. if I were GSW, why would I do that deal?
I'd rather deal Barnes to the jazz for the '14 pick and keep Thompson. That way they can still have their 3pt shooting backcourt plus a very good player in the '14 draft.

Who would you rather keep, Barnes or Thompson?
^^^
Again if I were GSW, I'd rather keep Thompson and trade Barnes to the Jazz for a first round pick in '14. Jazz can also take on any bad contracts or Bogut if need be.
That way they can keep the Curry & Thompson tandum going. They can grab another SF in '14 if they needed to. I do think a lot of Barnes' skills are lost with the GSW (i.e., they don't really need his 3pt shooting with Curry and Thompson already doing the damage).

Well Lakers might not turn that down, but Howard might. He would want to be in a winning situation and Thompson is a big part of that.
