Thunder Acquire Randy Foye In Trade With Nuggets

The Oklahoma City Thunder has been pursuing a trade for point guard Randy Foye for the past few days, and have finally reached a deal to acquire the veteran, according to CBS Sports' Ken Berger:

The Thunder send D.J. Augustin, Steve Novak and two second-round picks to Denver for Randy Foye, league source says.

The Thunder have been looking to upgrade their backup point guard position with another reliable veteran since they have not been satisfied with D.J. Augustin's production this season. He is shooting just 38 percent from the floor, and is averaging a turnover per game.

Foye is expected to see an increased role down the stretch for the Thunder as they want to rely less on rookie Cameron Payne.

Foye is averaging 6.0 points and 2.1 assists in 19.8 minutes per game for the Nuggets. Augustin is averaging 4.2 points and 1.9 assists in 15.3 minutes per game.
