Seth told reporters that he was trying to \u201ccreate my own path\u201d in the NBA, and playing in his brother\u2019s shadow would have interfered with that.<\/p>\n<p>Coach <strong>Steve Kerr<\/strong> agreed with that reasoning, saying it would have been awkward to have both brothers on the team earlier in their careers.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI don\u2019t know if the timing was right (for Seth to join us) over recent years,\u201d <\/em>Kerr said. <em>\u201cWe probably didn\u2019t have playing time for him. He was in a place where he was going to teams and playing a lot, making money. It just feels like (Stephen and Seth are) both at a point in their careers where this makes a ton of sense. I\u2019m thrilled to have Seth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While Steph became a legend in the Bay Area, the younger Curry faced a different journey, working his way up through the G League and playing for nine teams over the past 11 years. He has been a deadly outside shooter wherever he has gone, and Gordon notes that his career percentage of 43.3% from beyond the arc is slightly better than his brother, who is considered possibly the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history.<\/p>\n<p>Seth holds a non-guaranteed\u00a0Exhibit 9 deal, and he\u2019s expected to be waived before the start of the regular season. The plan is for him to rejoin the team at some point early in the season on a pro-rated veteran\u2019s minimum deal once the Warriors determine how much cap room they\u2019ll have available.<\/p>\n<div data-block-type=\"text\" data-dropcap=\"false\">\n<p><em>\u201cEverybody\u2019s excited about it,\u201d <\/em>he said.<em> \u201cInstead of watching more games, it should be just easier to watch my game, which is easier on everybody. Everybody is excited about it, except maybe my dad (<strong>Dell Curry<\/strong>). He didn\u2019t want me to leave Charlotte.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s more on the Warriors:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Golden State will likely become the first team in NBA history with four starters who are at least 35 years old, so Kerr will have to be cognizant of playing time to minimize injuries, Gordon states in a separate story. Thirty-nine-year-old <strong>Al Horford<\/strong> joins Stephen Curry (37), <strong>Jimmy Butler<\/strong> (36) and <strong>Draymond Green<\/strong> (35), and the team has reserves <strong>Gary Payton II<\/strong> and <strong>Buddy Hield<\/strong> who will both turn 33 during the season. <em>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to be in a position where you\u2019re chasing (a playoff berth) down the stretch of the season,\u201d<\/em> Curry said. <em>\u201cIt felt like every game was a playoff game for two straight months and then you transition into a very tough seven-game series and then you\u2019re 48 hours from a round two, Game 1. It was a very condensed high level of basketball.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Butler missed practice Friday and Saturday while recovering from a rolled ankle and Kerr considers him a \u201cquestion mark\u201d for Sunday\u2019s preseason opener, according to Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area (Twitter link). <strong>Trayce Jackson-Davis<\/strong> has a taped right thumb and is also considered questionable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brandin Podziemski<\/strong> was used as a starter at Thursday\u2019s practice, but Kerr said nothing has been decided yet, per Anthony Slater of ESPN (Twitter link).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seth Curry explains why he&#8217;s teaming up with his older brother late in their careers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":107590,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1605,97,98,9,1751,146,2977,11,143],"class_list":["post-107584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-al-horford","tag-brandin-podziemski","tag-buddy-hield","tag-draymond-green","tag-gary-payton-ii","tag-jimmy-butler","tag-seth-curry","tag-stephen-curry","tag-trayce-jackson-davis"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
