The Golden State Warriors’ front office is drowning in big decisions this summer. Jimmy Butler’s future, Draymond Green’s podcast rants; it’s enough to make your head spin. But there’s one unlikely move that could make everyone do a double-take if it ever happens. And it would all start with a certain 34-year-old sniper making a couch change for $3 million. Picture this: Stephen Curry, 37, dancing around a screen, pulling up from 30 feet… only this time, when the double-team comes, he whips a pass to the exact same spot where his brother Seth, 34, is already loading up.

Well, Doc Rivers, head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, would love to see something like that happen. On Bill Simmons’ podcast this week, Rivers wasn’t just gushing about son-in-law Seth Curry winning the league’s three-point percentage crown (45.6%). Instead, he hypothesized what the Curry brothers would look like playing together!

When Bill Simmons questioned on ways to get Seth to Denver, Rivers said, “I actually think the perfect place for him would be Golden State […] Forget that [family stuff]; it has nothing to do with that. It’s the way they play; he fits perfect. I’ve said that for two or three years… It’d be sensational!” Well, wouldn’t it be nice to see the brothers play on the same team? Just like the old days…

Stephen and Seth Curry played just a few games together in their early career—six games, to be precise. The younger brother had joined the Golden State Warriors in 2013 for a couple of preseason games with his brother before he got waived and joined the San Francisco Kings. And post those days, the brothers have only played against each other in the league. Remember 2019? Stephen and Seth Curry became the first brothers to play against each other in the Conference Finals. “It’s the first time it’s been done. It’s going to be a lot of fun for our families to be in the building. I’m looking forward to it,” Seth said back then.

But did you know that their parents, Dell and Sonya Curry, were rooting for Seth? Stephen Curry was already an established name, and so, the proud parents were hoping their younger son could get some due recognition as well. However, it was Stephen Curry’s GSW that walked away victorious as Seth’s Blazers fell, 111-114. And while Doc Rivers would love to see glimpses of the brothers on the same team once again, would Seth be open to that possibility?

After all, back in 2022, he revealed he preferred not to be on the same team as his brother. “You never know what the future holds. I wouldn’t be against it, but it’s definitely not my preferred choice to be on the same team as him.”

What’s your perspective on:

Could the Curry brothers' reunion be the Warriors' secret weapon for one last championship run?

Have an interesting take?

Similarly, there is another issue. Stephen Curry is still dropping 24 a night at age 37, but fans know that he won’t stick around for too long.

Dell Curry’s retirement warning for Stephen Curry!

It’s not about Steph’s sweet stroke fading. “I think it’s a matter of, can he go through the rigors of preparing himself to play in an NBA season?” Dell warned a day ago. Translation: The grind is brutal. That hamstring strain that sunk the Dubs against Minnesota? A stark reminder. Golden State’s window with an elite Steph is slamming shut. Adding Seth isn’t just a fun narrative; it’s a low-cost, high-reward weapon to maximize whatever time Steph has left. And Dell Curry would know better than anyone.

“I just didn’t feel like I had the energy or effort to work and train throughout the summer. I wouldn’t short myself, my teammates, or the fans. I think that’s what it’ll come down to [for Steph],” the father added, recalling his own career. But Dell Curry also acknowledged how much his son loves the sport. “He wants to win another title, so we’re not even close to that window yet. But when the time comes, I think he’ll make the right decision.”

While many players start to decline in their late 30s, Curry’s basketball skills and IQ set him apart. Though he himself doesn’t know if retirement is what comes next, in March, he had shared how he constantly reevaluates every year to understand where he is. When he makes the final decision, it will be the right one. What do you think?
