The Golden State Warriors have taken a widely-discussed and controversial plan around their future in recent years, dubbed a ‘two-timeline’ approach that ultimately never got off the ground.
After taking James Wiseman second overall in 2020, and lottery picks Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody the year after, there was a clear direction in place for the franchise to maintain success over the course of a 15+ year period.
Golden State Warriors’ owner Joe Lacob insists the notion of a two-timeline plan was never put in place at the franchise.
The idea of long-term sustained success has seemingly fell by the wayside in recent months — firstly with the decision to deal Wiseman at February’s trade deadline, and then the recent move to trade their most proven young piece, Jordan Poole, for a 38-year-old Chris Paul.
