the only person i see being cut at this point is Marcus Williams and I'm not sure the spurs really want to do that.
Then comes Bonner. Would love to dump him, but getting something in return would be nice.
I have a feeling in my heart that Bruce has something left...he showed it toward the end of the Season and in the Playoffs when Pop finally played him in significant minutes. I would love a roster of:
PG- Parker/Hill
SG- Mason/Manu/Hairston
SF-Jefferson/Bowen/Finley
PF- Duncan/Blair/Haislip/Bonner (trade him please)
C- Dice/Mahinmi/Ratliff
Of course 3 of those guys would end up on IR, but that's a good 15 man roster right there...

Bring Back Bruce "Lee" Bowen!!!!!
if popovich, who has known and trusted bowen throughout these years, decided to play him less and less last year, it is most likely bowen is done. there is no doubt that this bowen is not the 2007 or even 2008 bowen anymore. it's time to move on. if there is a roster spot open, signing him as the 15th man wouldn't be bad as a stabilizing force on the bench. otherwise, the spurs shouldn't go out of their way to sign him.
oh..my bad...guess I didn't get that part. lol...thanks for the info.
I guess we won't have to wait long to see if the Spurs want him back or not.
My gut says no and retires.
His name plate never left the Spurs' locker room. See ya in a couple of weeks, Bruce.

BUCKS REQUEST WAIVERS ON BOWEN
July 31, 2009 | 4:02pm
The Milwaukee Bucks have requested waivers on guard/forward Bruce Bowen, General Manager John Hammond announced today.
Bowen was acquired from San Antonio on June 23 as part of the three-team trade that also brought the Bucks Kurt Thomas from San Antonio and Amir Johnson from Detroit. Richard Jefferson was sent to San Antonio while Fabricio Oberto went to Detroit to complete the trade.
Bowen, 38, is a 13-year NBA veteran who spent the previous eight seasons with San Antonio.
Maybe at McDonald's but not in a Spurs jersey.
Would love to have Bruce back. Signing him for the veterans' minimum is a no-risk signing. Either he gets decent minutes and plays his usual defense, or he can't crack the rotation at all and is the de-facto defensive coach for the Spurs younger players. If the latter happens, he would still be a huge positive influence on the chemistry and camaraderie of the locker room.
Welcome home Bruce! Championship or bust!
You think if Pop had a choice, finley would be on this team and not Bowen? Keep smokin.
I agree. If he can no longer play well, I think he'd be a great assistant or defensive coach.

Status quo
pm Parker - Hill - x (Williams ? )
g Mason - Ginobili - Hairston
f Jefferson - Finley - Haislip
p Duncan - Blair - Bonner
c Mc Dyess - Ratliff - Mahinmi
Toros with toros contract : Gist - Mc Clinton
So maybe we'll have to make at least a two for one deal for bringing back Bruce...
As always a Bonner + Finley (plus maybe Williams plus maybe draft choices) for one very good player (Nocioni anyone?) could be already in works...
Off topic, I miss Timmy's mini-fro. On topic, Williams is definitely the odd man out. Could this explain the Spurs FO hesitance to pick up his contract?
Deal in the works.
Bowen to Spurs for league veteran minimum paid for by HEB, who lands $4mil deal to stock Hill Country Fare products at ATT Center.
Aramark rumored not to be amused, and has expressed interest in being moved.
Come back Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uce.
Damn i hate you finley.
So 1 week, huh?
Doitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdo itdoitdoitdoit.
Never mind the X's and the O's. Bruce deserves one more year.
Pull the strings.
I am still not quite sold on Hill as a solid back-up PG. So, I would try to package Bonner & Finley for a decent 3rd option PG, sign Bruce and call it a day.
"Thump my glasses again, and I'll make you into a point guard"...lol
Yep, all Finley's fault.Come back Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uce.
Damn i hate you finley.
Yes.
In theory, a team with a TE big enough or enough cap space can claim him from waivers but it's highly unlikely.
story of his life
