After a lengthy offseason holdout with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga, the Golden State Warriors have finally made some significant signings. Amongst them is the brother of the Warriors’ superstar, Seth Curry- the sharpshooting guard has been reunited with his brother Stephen Curry. Still, some roster constraints prevent him from joining the team in matches until later in the season. However, more importantly, some of Seth’s recent comments have caught attention.

The younger Curry was asked at Golden State’s Media Day about how it would be playing alongside his sibling, and his answer was intriguing. He told the reporters, “It’s really just me and my career just kind of avoiding it, trying to create my own path. Didn’t really want to be on the same team as Steph for whatever reason, but I’m comfortable here now. Everybody’s, Steph is excited about it, I’m excited about it, and we’re all trying to win games.”

His comments show how he wished to forge his own path independent from Steph, a franchise cornerstone, but he appears to have embraced his role in the years since.

Seth also spoke about various other topics, including the unusual circumstances of the offseason. For those who don’t know, the Warriors’ offseason was stalled by an extended negotiation with Jonathan Kuminga, who ended up signing a $48.5 million deal- with a team option in the second year of this contract.

Following the Kuminga deal, Golden State made multiple moves, including signing Al Horford, Gary Payton II, De’Anthony Melton, and Seth Curry. The guard was candid with reporters, saying, “It was weird. It’s something you’ve never seen. I’ve definitely never seen in my career… kind of already knowing what they’re going to have, but not making it official for a couple months,” reflecting on the months leading up to his signing.

Curry was also asked about his fit with Steph and Golden State, and made it clear that he’s been locked into their games for a long time. “I’ve probably watched 95 percent of Warriors games the last 16 years. So I kinda know their style. I just need to know, really, the terminology that they use. I should be able to fit right in whenever they need me,” he said, highlighting that he’s ready to contribute as soon as the team needs.

His approach shows his willingness to learn, integrate, and contribute, which is valued, even if a guaranteed roster spot isn’t immediate.

Seth also made it clear that his mindset in training camp is shaped by his years of navigating different team situations. He emphasized that while the reunion with Steph has been the focus, he’s focused on adapting to the system run by head coach Steve Kerr.

“For me, like my career, I’ve been on a lot of different teams, different kinds of superstars, playing different styles for different coaches… Like I said, I feel like I’ve been around this organization, this team, for a while. I feel comfortable,” he said.

His experience playing alongside superstars like Damian Lillard, Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant has shaped a veteran understanding: success with Golden State requires patience, adaptability, and a willingness to embrace any role the team needs.

Seth Curry is Navigating a Roster Limbo Amid Salary Issues

Seth Curry’s arrival in Golden State is a nuanced situation. Officially, Seth is signed to an Exhibit 9 deal with the Warriors, which lets him participate in training camp but doesn’t guarantee a roster spot until mid-November.

Fans will have to wait to see the Curry brothers share the court for the first time while Golden State maneuvers around Jonathan Kuminga’s contract, which has left Seth in a waiting period as the team figures out their next move.

Curry’s signing is about experience and prep. Seth is an 11-year veteran and one of the most efficient 3-point shooters in the league’s history (43.3% for his career), with solid playoff experience from his stints in Portland, Dallas, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn, and the ability to fit in wherever required, which is going to be important for a contending Warriors team.

Notably, Steve Kerr can utilise Seth Curry in several ways. Seth is a historically great shooter, ranked third all-time in career three-point percentage, and has a versatile game that includes solid defense, playmaking, and the ability to fit into complementary roles without ego.

This makes him ideal for a Warriors offense that values ball movement, spacing, and shooting. Kerr expressed that the timing is perfect for Seth to join the Warriors now, as the team has playing time and roster space for him to make an impactful contribution. The addition of Seth enables two-curry brothers to share the floor, enhancing shooting and offensive flow alongside Steph Curry. 

So as Seth pointed out earlier, it shouldn’t take him long to integrate himself fully into the Warriors system.

Not to ignore- Seth is no stranger to proving himself despite circumstances. He went undrafted in 2013 after a solid college career and bounced around with short-term contracts and G-League assignments before establishing himself as a solid contributor.

In fact, his first contract was with the Warriors, but he was waived before the season started. Now, he faces a waiting game that is not unlike his early years: prove his value, integrate as needed, and remain ready for any opportunity to get playing time.
