  Randy Foye had an interesting draft  night.  He was drafted No. 7 by the  Boston Celtics (2006),  then traded to the  Portland Blazers within the hour.
  THEN Foye was traded by Portland to the  Minnesota Timberwolves that same day.

  < Randy immediately received 3 team hats, from his three new employers.   Maybe  he can start a hat collecting hobby.
