Entering the NBA out of Duke, Seth Curry was just Stephen Curry’s younger brother. Then, the Golden State Warriors brought him in as an undrafted free agent in 2013 and he played 6 preseason games but was waived ahead of the regular season. Nevertheless, over time, he worked to get that ‘Stephen Curry’s younger brother’ label off him, becoming one of the league’s most elite shooters from the deep, including 3rd all-time in 2023. But despite repeating “You never know what the future holds,” would the 34-year-old join his brother after completing his one-year $3.3 million deal in Charlotte?

“I wouldn’t be against it, but it’s definitely not my preferred choice to be on the same team as him — definitely right now.” But that was two years ago, and this time around, all doors to the Bay Area would open if the recently turned free agent wants. Here’s the case– Last season, one of the most glaring issues for the Warriors became their lack of shooters. They did not have anyone around Stephen. Then when he too got injured, Steve Kerr’s roster not having any prolific shooter practically led them out of the playoffs. As for Seth, joining the Warriors would make much sense. He averaged over 45% from the deep for the Hornets with 6.5 points in 15.6 minutes per game.

Even his father-in-law and NBA legend Doc Rivers repeated what he has every couple of years now– “I actually think the perfect place for him would be Golden State. I don’t know if it’s possible or not. I don’t know if either one of them would want it, actually. But I do think it has nothing to do with the fact [they are brothers]. The way they play, he fits perfect.” Certainly, Steph would approve. So far, Mike Dunleavy has failed to add a single free agent to boost the team’s chances of title contention and is stuck in Jonathan Kuminga’s trade situation. However, Seth is not making any promises yet.

At the American Century Championship on Thursday in South Lake Tahoe, the former Hornet addressed the possibility of teaming up with Steph. Seth told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole, “I’m just trying to find a good spot for me. That’s really it right now. Enjoyed my time in Charlotte. Love to go back, but that’s a young team, them doing what they’re doing. So right now, trying to figure out what’s best for me and trying to get to a situation where I can be my best self and keep going and finish my career strong.

“I mean they play a good brand of basketball. I feel like I’ve been a part of Dub Nation for a while watching Steph and being around the organization. Obviously, they could use … any team could use shooting. But I can’t say anything other than I’m trying to find the best place for me, and hopefully we’ll figure it out in the next week and figure out where I’ll be going next.

“I always got to do what’s best for myself, obviously. Steph would love me to come over there and play with them, the fans show me a lot of love at all times, the family would love it. I’ve always embraced the Warriors and their system and love the way they play, and you never know what could happen.”

Sure, adding Seth to the roster makes perfect sense for the Warriors because his contract is easy on the pockets and he would be a reliable scoring threat off the bench. But the younger Curry sibling is still assessing his options and looking for the best situation that suits him after having played for nine teams already.

At 34-years-old, in the tail end of his career, Seth does not plan to make moves solely based on his emotions but by analyzing what’s best for him. Moreover, playing with Steph was never his priority in the first place.

Seth Curry’s plan was always to create his own path

Considering their similar playing style and shooting ability, fans have always wanted to see Steph and Seth in the same uniform at least once before one of them hangs his boots. But during a 2022 interview, Seth made it clear that playing with Steph is not a priority, “I’ve thought about it as people bring it up, but to me personally, I enjoy kind of being away from him, trying to create my own path and do my own thing.”

Although not at the level of his brother, Seth has carved his own legacy in the NBA as an elite shooting guard who can fit in any system and be a valuable piece on a winning team. But he never shut down the possibility of reuniting with Steph, “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 definitely right now. I also like competing against him and trying to beat the best.”

Even during his recent interview, Seth admitted that teaming up with Steph is not a priority, but he hinted at being open to joining the Warriors if it’s the right situation. Well, he could surely be a pivotal piece alongside Steph, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green in their title pursuit. Moreover, Seth’s addition would give Dub Nation some relief amid the silent Free Agency they have had so far. Do you think Seth should join the Warriors?
