"Randy Foye didn't trade himself for Brandon Roy, but considering how their careers have turned out, that has to be a heavy burden for Foye to bear for the rest of his career. On the night of the 2006 NBA draft, then-Minnesota Timberwolves general manager Kevin McHale wanted Foye, but he also knew how badly Portland wanted Roy. So he selected Roy and decided to trade him to Portland to get the player he wanted all along - and a little cash on the side.

You already know how that has turned out. Roy is a three-time all-star who has almost single-handedly revitalized basketball enthusiasm in the Pacific Northwest, while Foye is on his second team and currently subjected to backing up a player who had to work his way back into the league on a couple of 10-day contracts.

But Foye appeared like he was ready to finally going to come out on top against Roy for at least one night. He scored seven consecutive points for the Wizards in the fourth period, making three straight crowd-silencing jumpers after starting the game 1-for-8. "If you know my history, how I usually play, early on, I dish the ball and get guys shots. And in the third and fourth, I take the big shots," Foye said.

Foye helped the Wizards come back from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to take a 74-72 lead with 61 seconds remaining. "He came in and got aggressive," Coach Flip Saunders said. "He started going north-south with the ball instead of east-west. He made some big shots and got them back on their heels. Put us in a great situation.""
