Dell Curry knows a thing or two about shooting. He played 16 seasons in the NBA, making 929 3-pointers at a 40.2% clip. He also passed on his genes and skills to his two sons, Stephen and Seth, who have become two of the best shooters in the league.

The idea of having both Curry brothers on the same team is tantalizing for any fan of basketball and shooting. Imagine the spacing, the ball movement, the fireworks. Imagine Stephen and Seth running off screens, spotting up in transition, playing off each other’s gravity.

It’s a scenario that has been floated around recently, as Seth will become an unrestricted free agent in 2023. Could he join his older brother in Golden State, where Stephen has signed a four-year, $215 million extension that will keep him with the Warriors until 2026?

Their father, Dell, addressed that possibility on Thursday in a Zoom conference promoting the American Century Golf Championship that begins July 12 at Edgewood Tahoe. “There’s always that possibility,” Dell said. “The salary cap and all that is going to come into play. But I think that would be a good market for Seth as a shooter. We know how important 3s are, and he’s one of the best in the league to do it.”

How realistic is it for Seth to join Steph at Golden State?

While it may sound like a dream scenario for the Curry family and Warriors fans, there are some hurdles that could prevent it from happening. The biggest one is money.

Seth signed a four-year, $32 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks in 2019, before being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers and then to the Brooklyn Nets. He earned $8.5 million in 2022-23, the final year of his deal. He will likely command a higher salary in free agency, given his production and value in today’s game.

Stephen, on the other hand, became the first player in NBA history to sign two contracts worth over $200 million when he agreed to a four-year, $215 million extension with the Warriors in August 2021. He earned $48 million in 2022-23, and his salary will increase annually until it reaches $59.6 million in 2025-26.

The Warriors are already well over the salary cap and luxury tax threshold, meaning they have limited flexibility to sign free agents or make trades. Therefore, if Seth were to join Steph at Golden State, he would have to take a significant pay cut and accept a smaller role than he has now.
