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.
