The Golden State Warriors are prepared to reunite two sharpshooting brothers as Seth Curry agreed to a one-year deal with the team to play alongside Stephen Curry, multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday.
Seth Curry reportedly is arriving on a non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 contract, which would permit him to work with the club throughout training camp. However, he subsequently would have to be waived before the Warriors could bring him in early in the season on a prorated deal that would allow them to stay within the NBA’s salary-cap rules.
A 35-year-old journeyman, Seth Curry led the league in 3-point shooting accuracy last season, hitting 45.6 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc for the Charlotte Hornets.
His career 3-point shooting percentage, 43.3 percent, ranks second among active players, trailing only Luke Kennard’s 43.8 percent and just ahead of Stephen Curry’s 43.2 percent. Seth Curry is seventh on the all-time list for 3-point shooting accuracy, a list topped by Golden State coach Steve Kerr (45.4 percent).
Seth Curry is set to join his 10th NBA team. He broke into the league in 2013-14, playing one game each for the Memphis Grizzlies and the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has subsequently suited up for the Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks, Portland Trail Blazers, Dallas again, Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets, Dallas a third time and the Hornets.
Last season, he averaged 6.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 15.6 minutes in 68 games (14 starts) for Charlotte.
In 550 career games (224 starts), he puts up 10.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per contest.
