Spurs Sign Bowen

Johnny Ludden of the San Antonio Express News reports that Bruce Bowen has officially signed with the Spurs. The contract will pay him about $716,000 this year and has a player's option that will pay $825,000 next year, though he will probably opt out to be paid with San Antonio's midlevel exception. His signing and the expected signing of Danny Ferry means that there is likely no place on the Spurs roster for Sean Elliott.

Bulls still an option for Hardaway

The Chicago Daily Southtown is reporting that the Bulls are still an option for Illinios-native Tim Hardaway, with Dallas and Miami also possibilites. While his annual basketball camp at the University of Illinois-Chicago came to a close last week, Hardaway chose to remain in the area this week. However, it was Hardaway's agent Henry Thomas who suggested that this move had no meaning. "I wouldn't say that any team has the inside track at this point," Thomas said. "There still are a number of variables involved."



Thomas said a decision by Hardaway on where he will be playing the upcoming season could be announced as early as today. Hardaway could either be a starter for the Bulls, who seem to be divided on whether or not to acquire the guard, or take a reduced role off the bench for Miami or Dallas.
