The idea of Seth Curry joining his brother in Golden State has long been a fantasy of NBA fans. But this offseason, it’s realistic.
“They play a good brand of basketball,” Seth said about the Warriors while speaking to Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area. “I feel like I’ve been a part of Dub Nation for a while, watching Steph and being around the organization. Obviously, they, like any team, could use shooting. But I can’t say anything other than I’m trying to find the best place for me.”
At 34 years old, Seth remains one of the league’s most lethal shooters.
He led the NBA last season in three-point percentage at 45.6 percent and owns a career mark of 43.3 percent, ranking second among active players.
“Obviously, Steph would love me to come over there and play with him,” Seth added. “And the fans showed me a lot of love at all times. (Our) Family would love it. I’ve obviously I’ve always embraced the Warriors and their system and love the way they play. And you never know what can happen.”
Doc Rivers, Seth’s father-in-law and Bucks head coach, even endorsed the move recently.
“I actually think the perfect place for him would be Golden State,” Rivers said last month on The Bill Simmons Podcast.
The Warriors finished 16th in three-point shooting percentage last season at 36.4 percent, despite Stephen Curry’s heroics. Bringing in Seth on a veteran minimum deal worth roughly $3.6 million could give them another elite floor spacer.
“For me, it’s basketball first,” Seth said. “I have to fit the style of play. If they need what I do, if they need my services, what I do best and just what type of team they have, and things of that nature. So, it’s always basketball fit first.”
The Warriors famously waived Seth in 2013 after training camp. Now, 12 years later, the timing for a Curry-Curry pairing finally feels right.
