    Bruce Bowen could eventually hit the free-agent market, but not before August. Milwaukee has to waive Bowen -- with a payout of $2 million -- by Aug. 1 or else his $4 million salary for next season becomes fully guaranteed.

    So the Bucks will explore their trade options with Bowen first -- and won't have a lack of opportunities, from what I gather -- and then release him if they don't find a palatable deal in the next month. The Magic and Cavs would be among the natural contending suitors if Bowen becomes an unrestricted free agent, with Orlando possibly possessing an advantage in the presence of coach Stan Van Gundy, who knows Bowen well from their time together with the Miami Heat before the 38-year-old swingman went to San Antonio in 2001.

    Until proven otherwise, I'm going to believe Bowen ends up back here.

    The Bucks would be smart to try to trade his expiring contract to try to get someone they really want in return, but I thought they were trying to clear cap space.

    hope he does not go to a West contender. Seeing Bowen guard Manu/RJ/Parker in the playoffs would be scary.

    He will make Pop regret it

    I hope so

    With Finley firmly back on board, I just can't see Bowen back with the Spurs.

    Bowen and cash for Finley. Do it, Bucks.

    (I realize this trade makes no real fiscal sense for the Bucks, but let a guy dream)

    I'd be funny if he goes to Dallas or Phoenix. I wanna hear what those fans have to say once he puts on their jersey

    I find it odd there has been no news on an Oberto buyout. Didn't he have to be bought out already or do they have until the end of today?

    I know they lack big men, but I am still surprised....

    Finley & cash for Bowen makes sense and it would cost the Bucks the same. The Bucks would sort of have to do the spurs a favor.

    I love Bruce as much as anybody. He and Horry are my 2 favorite role players of all time, but he is done.

    Not according to Stein, there's a lot of interest in him.

    If he does not go back to Spurs another contender will get him. Just hope it's not the Lakers.

    Maybe Orlando thinks they can sign Bruce and then no one can stop Vince.

    We should have never let Bruce go. Imagine the Lakers get him. Phil would love to put him on Manu. Then where do we sit?

    We got Richard Jefferson for him. We absolutely, positively, 100% had to let Bruce go.

    Bold prediction:

    We send Finley and Bonner to OKC for Collison, then re-sign Bowen after he is released for the minimum.
