His release, however, is viewed as a strategic salary-cap move rather than the end of his time with the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>According to ESPN\u2019s Anthony Slater, the Warriors \u2014 currently hard-capped at the second apron \u2014 are expected to re-sign Curry later this season on a pro-rated veteran minimum contract. The move would allow the team to preserve flexibility and remain under the tax apron line.<\/p>\n<p>NBC Sports\u2019 Kurt Helin added that the Warriors could bring Curry back as soon as November 15, though a December timeline \u201cwould give them more cushion against the tax apron.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kerr: \u2018The Timing Feels Right\u2019 for the Curry Brothers<\/h2>\n<p>Warriors head coach Steve Kerr praised the organization\u2019s decision to bring Seth into the fold during training camp, calling it a \u201clong overdue moment\u201d for the Curry family and for fans who\u2019ve waited years to see the brothers together in Golden State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s awesome,\u201d Kerr said earlier in the training camp. \u201cThe timing feels right on this. I don\u2019t know if the timing was right over recent years \u2014 we 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. And it just feels like they\u2019re both at a point in their careers where this makes a ton of sense. I\u2019m thrilled to have Seth and to see the two brothers side by side today at our meeting. It was pretty awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kerr and the Warriors\u2019 front office have long admired Seth\u2019s professionalism, perimeter shooting, and adaptability \u2014 traits that fit seamlessly into the Warriors\u2019 ball movement-heavy system.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Seth: \u2018It\u2019s Definitely Special to Be Here\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>For Seth, joining his brother\u2019s team \u2014 even briefly \u2014 was a dream more than a decade in the making.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely special,\u201d Seth said after signing. \u201cFeels like a good time in both of our careers for me to be here. It\u2019s funny \u2014 Kerr, Steve, and Mike asked me a few times over the years if I\u2019d ever want to team up with Steph. I know I\u2019ve said before that I didn\u2019t want to be on the same team, that I wanted to create my own path, but it\u2019s good to be here now at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that he\u2019s eager to contribute to the Warriors\u2019 veteran core and championship pursuit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a veteran team, and we\u2019re trying to get back to winning games and chasing a championship,\u201d Seth said. \u201cI\u2019ve always felt like the Bay showed me a lot of love \u2014 like it was one of my homes, especially with Steph being here so long.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Stephen Curry: \u2018He Knows How to Get It Done\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Stephen Curry said having his brother in camp \u2014 even temporarily \u2014 has been a \u201cspecial\u201d experience for both.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know how he approaches the game,\u201d Steph said. \u201cI know how good he is. He knows how to pick and choose his spots depending on his role and always finds a way to get it done. It\u2019s cool to practice against him and see what I\u2019ve known for the last decade \u2014 how he works, how he carries himself. And he gets to hang out with his nieces and nephews a little more, too, which is cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Seth Curry\u2019s Veteran Presence and Shooting Still Valued<\/h2>\n<p>Seth, 34, is coming off a career-best shooting season with the Charlotte Hornets, where he hit 45.6% from three-point range, narrowly topping Stephen Curry\u2019s single-season high of 45.5% set in 2011\u201312.<\/p>\n<p>While he played limited minutes (15.6 per game), Seth\u2019s elite efficiency and experience remain attractive to the Warriors\u2019 coaching staff, particularly for stabilizing the second unit when Stephen rests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve probably watched 95% of Warriors games over the last 16 years,\u201d Seth said. \u201cI know their style and how they play. I just need to learn the terminology they use, and once I do, I\u2019ll fit right in whenever they need me.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Golden State\u2019s Plan: Patience Now, Reunion Later<\/h2>\n<p>For now, Seth Curry will wait for the Warriors to make the financial space needed to re-sign him. But few doubt he\u2019ll be back in uniform soon \u2014 this time, finally as a teammate to his brother.<\/p>\n<p>Once Golden State reopens that roster spot, the NBA could see one of its most heartwarming storylines realized: Stephen and Seth Curry sharing the floor together in the pursuit of another Warriors championship.<\/p>\n<p>Alder Almo is a sports journalist covering the NBA for Heavy.com.
