I probably should have posted this Sunday or yesterday, but better late than never I suppose. I know the roster is essentially jam packed at this point, and once Marquis Daniels finds a way to get here, that'll realistically be it. But Bruce Bowen's name was mentioned off and on for a while. Peter May of the Globe spoke with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and has the latest:
“I’ve given him no such indication,’’ Popovich said. “He might come back with the right team in the right situation, but it’s probably not going to be San Antonio.’’
Then, this came from Sam Amico of Pro Basketball News:
There have been reports Boston was interested in Bowen, but he did not feel the same. Washington is said to be another possibility, as is Atlanta.
So I guess the point is we shouldn't expect to see Bowen in Boston anytime soon. Do you guys think we need Bruce Bowen?
I will say he'd continue to help sure up our defense, which has improved with the steady string of offseason moves we have already made. However, I think I'd feel better with a proven backup point guard added to the second unit, as opposed to Bowen. It would be nice to have him to cover the Kobe's and Wade's of the world, that way a guy like Pierce could dedicate his energy and focus to the offensive side of the ball, sort of like the way Kobe will do now that Ron Artest is a Laker.
Stay Tuned.

I would certainly not mind Bowen if the roster spot was opened up by TA, but would not want him if it meant losing Walker or Giddens at this point. We still have not seen what they can do after getting their rookie dust cleaned off
Not sure what Bowen really has left to offer
Think we will be OK. Sheed and Daniels fill the roles of PJ and Posey that we were badly missing last year
Yeah I agree. I'm definitely not about to say having Bruce Bowen will make or break our season haha.
If we could somehow get rid of TA, like you said, I'd love to have Bowen on board, but I completely agree with you in saying that I'd rather give Walker or Giddens a chance right now.
