The Golden State Warriors released Seth Curry, citing salary cap considerations and roster strategy, as his contract was an exhibit 9 deal that didn't count against the cap after training camp. The move allows the team to stay under the second apron of the salary cap, which is crucial for their roster flexibility, and they can re-sign Curry or other players on or after Nov. 11 with a veteran minimum deal.
The Warriors waived Seth Curry just before the season to manage salary cap constraints, with plans for him to rejoin the team later in the season once financial conditions allow, marking the first time the Curry brothers would be teammates in the NBA.
NBA coach Doc Rivers believes Seth Curry would be a perfect fit with the Golden State Warriors to play alongside his brother Steph Curry, citing Seth's shooting efficiency and potential to boost the team's perimeter shooting. While it's uncertain if they will team up, the idea excites fans and adds an interesting dynamic to the Warriors' roster possibilities.
The Charlotte Hornets have acquired Seth Curry, Grant Williams, and a 2027 first-round pick from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for P.J. Washington Jr., a 2024 second-round pick, and a 2028 second-round pick. Curry, a Charlotte native and son of Hornets television analyst Dell Curry, brings his shooting prowess to the team, while Williams, a former Boston Celtics player, adds depth to the Hornets' frontcourt. Washington Jr., a first-round pick in 2019, departs after contributing significantly to the team's three-pointers and blocks.
