The Bucks, meanwhile, continue to explore their trade options with Bruce Bowen, who must be paid $2 million and waived by Aug. 1, or his $4 million salary for next season will become fully guaranteed.
No deal involving Bowen was close as of late Wednesday, but Milwaukee will continue to make Bowen available until it has to release him to save the extra $2 million.
I'm likewise told that there have not been any trade discussions between the Bucks and Boston that would put Bowen back in Celtics green, even though the 38-year-old seemingly would appeal to the Celts to plug into the role -- perimeter defensive specialist who can drain 3s, guard certain power forwards and provide some championship know-how -- that they never filled last season after James Posey left.
Tony Allen and Pruitt for Bowen works. Pruitt has to be replaced so it is not like Boston would add a lot of salary and then we would have Bowen and Scal as expirings at the deadline if he didn't have a role. Not much in this Stein piece is of much note but something has to happen today with both players and there seems to be some buzz about this on MIL's end.
EDIT Just noted that this is pretty damn old information I am passing along and has already probably been posted a page or so back. Either way perhaps a revisit.
