Seth Curry will join his brother Stephen on the Golden State Warriors roster next season, marking their first official stint as teammates in the NBA.

The two had a brief spell together during the 2013 preseason before Seth was released from his non-guaranteed contract ahead of the regular season. This time, though, it is a more official arrangement.

Seth’s addition to the squad is scheduled for November 15th, due to salary cap restrictions. But getting to that point was not straightforward.

Jonathan Kuminga’s contract situation dragged on, which meant the Warriors could not formalise several moves they had lined up, even though verbal agreements were already in place with players like Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton and Seth Curry himself.

This led to an unusual wait for those expecting to join the team. It was not a typical free agency process by any stretch.

Reflecting on how things unfolded, Seth recently spoke about the delays and his thoughts on finally getting the chance to play alongside his brother in the NBA.

“It was weird, something never seen, I definitely never seen in my career. A team kind of already knowing what they have but not making it official for a couple of months. So it was weird, but we’re here now and ready to rock.

“For me to have the opportunity to come to a winning organization, everybody pushing the same path as far and trying to win a championship is good for me.”

Seth also admitted that he had not always been keen on playing alongside Stephen but said that now that it is happening, both are looking forward to it.

“I never really wanted to be on the same team as Steph, for whatever reason, but I’m comfortable here now, Steph is excited about it. I’m excited about it.”

Seth Curry’s shooting could play a key role in the Warriors rotation

While he may not be a central figure next season, Seth Curry brings a skill set that could fit well into the Warriors’ plans off the bench.

He spent last season with the Charlotte Hornets, where he averaged 6.5 points per game and shot an impressive 45.6% beyond the arc.

That kind of shooting accuracy adds another dimension to Golden State’s attack, providing spacing and perimeter threats whenever he checks into the game.
