Reuniting Curry brothers would open a new chapter for Warriors

With the signing of Seth Curry still pending as the franchise waits on the finalization of a contract with Jonathan Kuminga, the Golden State Warriors find themselves at an intriguing crossroads. 

The potential addition of Curry has sparked a larger question across the basketball world: do all signs point to his brother, Stephen Curry, preparing for retirement? If that day is near, the NBA will be ready to say farewell to one of the most decorated and transformative players in league history.

Steph Curry’s resume speaks for itself. He is a four-time NBA champion, a two-time league MVP and the 2022 NBA Finals MVP. He has made 11 All-Star teams, won two All-Star Game MVPs and earned 11 All-NBA selections across First, Second, and Third Teams. He owns two scoring titles, captured Clutch Player of the Year in 2024 and added an Olympic gold medal in 2024. He is also the NBA’s all-time leader in three-pointers made, becoming the first player to surpass 3,000 and extending the record far beyond that mark.

More than the numbers, he changed the geometry of the sport. What was once a situational weapon is now the heartbeat of modern offense, a shift driven by his off-ball movement, screening craft and limitless range.

Amid that legacy, the potential arrival of Seth Curry provides a practical roster angle. Seth Curry is not the superstar his brother is, yet he remains a proven NBA contributor. He has built a career on elite shooting efficiency, smart shot selection and steady decision-making. He spaces the floor, relocates well and understands timing in half-court actions and can run the offense in stretches, manage tempo and keep a second unit organized without forcing plays that are not there.

That profile fits Steve Kerr’s motion principles. Golden State thrives on spacing, split actions and read-and-react basketball. Seth Curry’s gravity as a shooter widens driving lanes, punishes soft closeouts and sustains the flow when Stephen Curry sits. He can toggle between roles, functioning as a secondary ballhandler, a pick-and-roll release valve or a catch-and-shoot threat who keeps weak-side defenders honest. On nights when the bench must protect a lead or chip away at a deficit, his low-variance game can stabilize possessions and reduce empty trips.

There is also the human element. Bringing the Curry brothers together at this stage would add continuity and calm to the locker room. For years they have built distinct careers, one as an all-time great and the other as a trusted professional who thrives within structure. Reuniting them would be both a sensible basketball move and a meaningful family chapter. If this signing arrives near the twilight of Stephen Curry’s career, having his brother alongside him would underline a final act built on shared craft, trust and feel for the game.

Whether Stephen Curry retires soon or continues to extend his prime, his impact is secure. For Seth Curry, a Warriors stint could be an ideal fit that maximizes his strengths and amplifies Golden State’s identity. If the deal comes together, it will be more than a routine transaction. It will be a moment where legacy, role definition and organizational philosophy meet, and where the Warriors attempt to write their next chapter with precision rather than noise.
