To those who don't think Bowen fits, I ask you why?  If anything, he seems the perfect fit for this team. 

As some of you have already pointed out, there's probably only room for 1 wing to get big minutes and another to get minimal minutes.  That's why Bowen fits in so well.  Unlike a younger wing who will want to play big minutes, Bowen probably can only play 10 mpg or so anyway. 

What's more, stylistically he's a compliment to Daniels.  Unlike Daniels who scores on drives and is a poor outside shooter, weakside threes are Bowen's bread and butter.  If Doc wants to go to a lineup to spread the floor, Bowen can fit in nicely.  Moreover, he's a little bigger than Daniels, giving Doc another option on big 3s like LeBron. 

Plus, with all his experience, he's a guy who could be brought in during a key moment, even not playing much, and still be ready for the big moment. 

And I still don't get all this hate on him for being dirty.  Where was this hate when Posey continually fouled people long after the whistle had blown?  Or when KG screams in people's faces?  Or when Perk has flagrantly fouled people on innumerable occasions?  Or on Rondo's face-grab of Brad Miller or when he threw Hinrich into the scorer's table?  Should we look to trade these guys away if dirty players don't belong in green?
