The fans from the Warriors newsgroup seem to be totally with the team on
this, whoever seems to be siding with Spree are getting called 'idiots'.
I posted to it and said it could be the turning point of their
franchise, because if they get #4 and one or two good free agents (Brent
Barry is almost a certainty!) then they've got a good shot of being
exactly where the C's are now, which isn't bad considering where we were
last season (basically where they are now imo).
