Bruce Bowen opts out of contract

In a calculated move, Spurs defensive specialist Bruce Bowen has opted out of his contract, acording to a report which will appear in Saturday's San Antonio Express-News.

The move makes Bowen an unrestricted free agent while also giving the Spurs added financial flexibility to shape their roster this summer- especially where it concerns a possible attempt to sign Kobe Bryant- who is also expected to opt out of his contract with the Lakers.

"After the season Bruce had and the great recognition he received for being first-team All-Defense, this is probably a nice opportunity for him," Spurs' General Manager R.C.Buford told Johnny Ludden of the San Antonio paper.
