2023 Orlando Magic Playoff Lessons: Golden State Warriors’ two-path plan put them at odds

The Golden State Warriors were touting their two-path plan.

They took the years they were injured with Klay Thompson out of the lineup — and the injury season for Stephen Curry in 2020 — to restock their young talent. The idea was that they would reset around their veteran trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green but begin growing young players like the found money in Jordan Poole, second overall pick James Wiseman and acquired draft pick Jonathan Kuminga to grow the next generation of champions.

The Warriors would be winning championships now and developing champions for the future.
