I think it would be a stupid trade because who will play small forward? The defense wouldn't be quite the same even though the offense would improve.
Dennis Rodman was a great defender until he was like 38 or so. Bruce has a similar type of wiry frame and work ethic. He could still play another solid three to four years.
I''m not agreeing with spursdaone but I thought Bruce was better in 2003 than he was this season. His defense on Kobe Bryant was incredible.

Dude, do you know anything about basketball? Obviously not! You idiot!
First off Horry sucks. Next when a player gets old the first thing that goes is their defense. When that happens Bowen would be worthless because he is not an offensive threat. He has already dropped some on defense and I expect have even a faller drop this next season.
What would a Mavs fan know about defense?
He sounds more like a rockets fan to me.
This guy is hilarious. He should replace T Park for the biggest idiot on here.
No, it's pretty easy to tell the difference between a rocket fan and a mav fan. Rocket fan is obnoxious, while Mav fan is![]()
Rocket fans also think Yao will be the next Shaq. I hate that team.
sounds like T Park is a Mavs fan than.![]()
Honey, I live here. You are dead on. It's sad how deluded some of my friends are. I pointed out that his time to improve and live up to expectations is quickly dwindling, but they always have an excuse (new coach, just got T-Mac and needs to adjust, needs a better pg to feed him, etc).
You know I live mere minutes away from Yao's bar? We go to a restaurant nearby every two or three weeks, but have never been. . .
NO. I'm actually a spurs fan who is thinking of ways to improve the team. James would be a spark plug coming off the bench which would be a perfect fit for this team. Brown is actually the closest to that and could start. Bowen won't be missed too much because San Antonio will win another championship but this time with James.![]()
So much for those promises of no more posts. . . .
I could see the point in arguing that Bowen might slow down in the next year or so and that that Spurs might be better in the long-term by selling high and buying low on some talent. For the record, I don't favor dealing Bruce Bowen, but I can see the point, to an extent.
I just can't see why you would be willing to trade a guy with a unique skill that is highly in demand for a middling point guard who, at most, will come off the bench, who isn't a great distributor and is far from an all-NBA defender.
If you think Mike James is the best that the Spurs can do in moving Bowen, I'd say that's precisely why there shouldn't be any deal.
By the way, if you're not Mike James, spursdaone are you maybe Devin Brown?![]()
With Mike James you could put Parker at the 2 guard and that would force some matchup problems because he will be hard to guard without the ball. You can also put him with Ginobili which would give Billups some trouble. I think everyone needs quit their love affair with Bowen and realize what is best for the team.
LOL I'm just gonna sit back w/ my popcorn, and enjoy the show. I know there will be some responses to that.......

You're trying to make yourself look like you know about basketball...but the fact is you don't..
Any moron that says Horry sucks, and says that Bowen won't be missed is a complete idiot... coming from a Spurs fan.....it's embarrassing.
You no way proved that an old Bruce Bowen is better than Mike James. Mike James is like Bobby Jackson a couple years ago.
Lock this already!
Who the says you've proven Mike James is better than Bruce Bowen?![]()
Watch the game. Learn something.
Mike James should be a starter but on this team he would be the energizer behind Parker and Ginobili. He will add to the neverending offense when Parker or Ginobili go to the bench. He is an awesome shooter and a good defender. Brown will be a great starter at the small forward with Barry getting more minutes which will help his rhythm. Instead of attacking me think of why Bowen is needed and why James won't help as much.
