Have we improved the longterm prospect of the Warriors?? How are we shortterm???
I think this places unbelievable pressure on Mike Dunleavy. If he can't step up and be a franchise player this year, he's going to cop the BIGGEST flak any one player on this team has since Spree's depature. And if MDJ can't step up, Saint will officially fired over this.. not that he isn't already sidelined.
