Warriors Set to Sign Sharpshooter Who Outshot Steph Curry From Deep

A Golden State Warriors reunion featuring brothers Stephen and Seth Curry is reportedly in motion, pending resolution of Jonathan Kuminga’s ongoing contract impasse. NBA insider Marc Stein reported Monday that there is strong leaguewide belief that Seth Curry will sign with the Warriors once Kuminga’s situation is settled.

“There is a strong expectation leaguewide now that the Warriors will also be signing Seth Curry in addition to the [Al] Horford/[De’Anthony] Melton/[Gary] Payton II trio. Golden State currently has six roster spots open. It’s believed they will be filled by Horford, Melton, Payton, Stephen Curry’s younger brother Seth, second-round pick Will Richard, and, of course, Kuminga,” Stein wrote in his The Stein Line newsletter.

At present, the Warriors roster holds just 10 players, intensifying the urgency to finalize deals. With training camp approaching and limited spots remaining, resolving Kuminga’s contract situation is crucial before Seth Curry and other veteran signings can officially join the team.

Seth Curry’s Role and Impact

Getty Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors talks to his brother, Seth Curry of the Charlotte Hornets.

Last season, Seth Curry quietly posted a career-best shooting campaign in Charlotte, connecting on 45.6% of his 3-point attempts—slightly higher than Stephen Curry’s single-season high of 45.5% set in 2011-12. However, his efficiency came on low volume, averaging just 2.7 triples per game in 15.6 minutes off the bench.

Should Seth land in Golden State, he would likely reprise a similar role as a second-unit shooter, providing floor spacing and offensive continuity behind his superstar brother. Analysts note that adding Seth could also reduce the regular-season burden on Stephen Curry, who will turn 37 in March.

Kuminga Contract Standoff Looms

Before the Warriors can finalize any veteran signings, the team must resolve Jonathan Kuminga’s contract situation. ESPN’s Anthony Slater and Shams Charania reported that Golden State recently increased its offer to a three-year, $75.2 million deal, including $48.3 million guaranteed over the first two seasons. The sticking point remains the final year: the team wants a club option, while Kuminga is insisting on a player option.

Kuminga has until Oct. 1 to accept the extension or play next season on a $7.9 million qualifying offer, which would allow him to enter unrestricted free agency in 2026. The holdout has cast a shadow over the team’s preparations for a season in which it aims to maximize its championship window with Stephen Curry,  Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green leading the way.

Warriors Stars Advocate for Kuminga

ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel, citing league sources, reported that the Warriors’ star trio has actively pushed for a deal to retain Kuminga.

“All three stars want Kuminga back on the roster, as his athleticism, durability, and production can’t be replicated. If lost, Kuminga’s void will be felt throughout the 82-game season,” Siegel wrote last week.

NBC Sports Bay Area’s Dalton Johnson noted that Butler personally contacted the front office to ensure clarity on the situation.

“When is basketball going to take over?” Johnson said on the Dubs Talk podcast. “That has to be the thoughts of, in my eyes, the three veteran stars: Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler. I can confidently say that Jimmy Butler has also reached out to the team and been like, ‘What’s going on here? I just wanted to know the plan.’”

Siegel emphasized that it’s not just Butler advocating for a resolution. The trio has consistently pressed the organization to satisfy Kuminga’s requests and finalize his contract so the team can move forward.

Clock Ticking on Roster Decisions

With only 10 players currently under contract, Seth Curry and other veteran additions are waiting on the Warriors. How the organization navigates this final stretch could define their season, as they aim to balance championship ambitions with roster stability and the potential historic reunion of the Curry brothers.
