Seth Curry is joining forces with his Hall of Fame-bound brother Stephen Curry. He has agreed to a one-year contract with the Warriors, ESPN’s Shams Charania tweets.
Terms of the deal aren’t yet known, but based on the expected starting salaries for Jonathan Kuminga, Al Horford, and De’Anthony Melton, Golden State likely won’t have enough room below its second-apron hard cap to add a 15th man on a standard contract at this point.
If that’s the case, the younger Curry brother figures to sign a non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 deal, which wouldn’t count against the cap. He would have to be waived before opening night, but could re-sign a few weeks into the season once a pro-rated minimum deal would fit below the team’s hard cap. NBA insider Marc Stein confirms (via Twitter) that looks like the plan for the Warriors.
Golden State’s interest in Curry was reported as far back as July. The Warriors delayed their roster moves while trying to resolve Kuminga’s restricted free agency — he finally agreed to a two-year deal on Tuesday.
Curry, 35, has followed a much different NBA path than his brother, who has spent his entire career with Golden State. Seth has played a total of 550 regular season games for Memphis, Cleveland, Phoenix, Sacramento, Dallas, Portland, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Charlotte.
Last season with the Hornets, he appeared in 68 games (14 starts) and averaged 6.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 15.6 minutes per game. Curry knocked down 45.6 percent of his 3-point attempts and is a 43.3 percent career shooter from deep.
He’ll add depth at the shooting guard spot.
You can never have enough shooters, smurfs, or 35 year olds.
Melton + Payton + Se. Curry over/under 100 games total between them?
I’m optimistic. I’ll take the over.
LET’S GO !!!!!

All under 6’5″. Awesome. Small ball will never die as long as Kerr is coaching.
Here we ago again. Another year of complaining about size
Yup.
But if the team has eight guys under 6-5, that means there’s seven guys over 6-5. Pretty good balance to me?
Speaking of size. The Warriors have an intriguing prospect at Santa Cruz this year, Javier Francis. 6’8″ with 7’5″ wingspan. Was 8th on the nation in blocked shots last season. I haven’t seen a guy close to signed by the Sea Dubs before.
This team is deep! This team will shoot! This team will defend! This team has a ton of experience! This team has a nice blend of youth! This team will be more versatile at the center position! This team will be FRONT AND CENTER if the Giannis Sweepstakes truly unfolds! Look on the bright side(s) of things, Davey J!
@The Chosen Dud
I mean, I was the one saying GSW would give Kuminga more than the QO all along, as they are keeping him at minimum for a Giannis trade, and at maximum making him a key future piece, and then they did. I love this team but this is too many undersized guards. GP, Seth and Melton are all men I myself am bigger than. When I stand next to a 6’9″ guy its obvious Im getting cooked. Th
@RenoChris
Being how easy it has them exposed, and being that I am one of literally thousands online complaining about it, it’s valid whether you like it or not. This team doesn’t have enough size off the bench to counter Wemby and Joker.
Also it proves I’m not a homer. I can be counted on for objective analysis unlike the “Kerr is actually better than Steph, MJ, TD and Pop and totally not a talentless hack who hitches his wagon to a GOAT” brigade.
I love that box scores will now anoint “Saint” St. Curry
Funny. I didn’t think the Warriors were over 1st apron.
St. Curry ughhhh
I guess no championship. They would rather sign Seth and Payton
Bring the hand check rule back
These new ads are horrible. Blocking the whole screen
You want to play with the Big Boys !!!!
Trust me ….. get a rim protector. One more piece.
Trust me lols…. Looking good. Seth is a closer.
How cute…I guess now the family will actually see him play since they were always attending Steph’s games even when Seth was in big ones.
Umm…Seth played in Charlotte. Their father is an Analyst for the Hornets TV broadcasts. Can you get any dumber.
Ya see ….. be decent. Life is good
Sure. Try it.
I try it every day lol. Don’t know any other way …Waaayyy
Is that why you like trashing Warriors fans just for being fans? What’s the big deal if I hope they win a Championship?
You don’t have to be an @$$ just because he didn’t know who the charlotte announcers are
You have to admit. He did throw out a cheap shot. It has nothing to do with who the announcers are.
Who tortures themselves watching the Hornets, I sure don’t. An that means Dell is getting paid to watch his son, the mom probably never went there.
Alas, brother-in-law Damion Lee is playing in Israel this year. Would be fun to see all three together
Maybe sign Bates to develop just in case Kuminga leaves for a reason. He wasn’t resigned, I don’t think he was signed to a two way contract
Seth’s still a fine player, I’d wager. Good pickup.
