Miami free-agent forward Bruce Bowen has delayed committing to the Spurs while the Heat explore sign-and-trade options.

"Bruce is still seriously considering San Antonio," said Bowen's agent Steve Kauffman. "Even if something else develops, I'm not sure it will be good enough to keep him from going to San Antonio."

The Spurs are limited to paying Bowen the league minimum of about $700,000. Miami can give him a starting salary of about $2.5 million in a sign-and-trade deal.
