Seth Curry is on the move again.
The guard and the Golden State Warriors reportedly agreed on a one-year deal, which means he will team up with his brother Stephen Curry. ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the details Tuesday:
There was a time when it seemed like Curry would return to the Charlotte Hornets. After all, he told Mat Issa of Forbes in March it was “a dream come true to play for the Hornets” seeing how he was born in Charlotte and grew up rooting for the team.
His father, Dell, also played with the team for 10 years.
“I feel like I have a purpose on this team,” Curry said when discussing free agency. “So, I would love to come back. Obviously, I want the team to improve and make some good moves in the offseason. But right now, I’m enjoying my time here, and I would love to come back.”
Alas, Charlotte did not bring the sharp-shooter back after it traded for him during the 2023-24 season in a deal with the Dallas Mavericks.
But switching teams is more of the same for the Duke product, who has played for the Memphis Grizzlies, Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Mavericks, Portland Trail Blazers, Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets and Hornets since making his NBA debut during the 2013-14 season.
While Curry hasn’t lit up scoreboards like his brother, Stephen, he is a formidable outside shooter in his own right and averaged double-digit scoring totals in four different seasons, including when he posted 15.0 points a night in 2021-22 for the 76ers and Nets.
He was more of a secondary option for Charlotte this past season and averaged 6.5 points in 15.6 minutes per game while shooting a sizzling 45.6 percent from deep.
The 2024-25 campaign was a disappointing one for the Hornets as they dealt with injuries and poor play overall. They were never a true playoff threat in the Eastern Conference, and it was easy to speculate they may look to get younger this offseason as they rebuild with an eye on the future.
That is exactly what they did in not bringing back Curry, but his outside shooting and veteran leadership should help the Warriors even in his age-35 season.
And he is certainly familiar with his new team’s biggest star since he will be playing alongside his brother. That should help create a number of open looks considering how much defensive attention Stephen Curry draws, which could lead to even better three-point shooting from the team’s newest addition.
Golden State is a veteran-laden club in win-now mode with veterans such as Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green leading the way, and Seth Curry fits the timeline perfectly as he chases the championship ring that has eluded him to this point of his career.
He should also fit in next to his brother perfectly as well.
