Warriors may focus on future without Stephen Curry
Summary

The Golden State Warriors are reportedly leaning toward building a roster for the future as they face decisions about their aging core, including Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Owner Joe Lacob is said to prioritize long-term development over immediate contention. The team has made moves that raise questions about this strategy, such as drafting a rookie who is already 23 years old and retaining 40-year-old Al Horford. These decisions come after LeBron James opted not to join the Warriors, leaving them in a challenging position with limited free agent options and the need to preserve draft assets.
