Warriors Waive Seth Curry — Re-Sign Expected

Golden State waived guard Seth Curry but intends to re-sign him when they "have sufficient financial flexibility," Marc Stein reports. The procedural move keeps the Warriors below the second apron — his current Exhibit 9 camp deal would push them over — and they plan to bring him back the week of Nov. 10 when his prorated salary is lower. Curry, a veteran 3-point marksman (43.3% career; led the league at 45.6% last season), provides cheap bench spacing. Merlin sees a tidy, low-risk chess move. In Steve Kerr’s motion-heavy offense Curry won’t be a focal playmaker but is a surgical threat off the bench who can stretch defenses and alter late-game matchups. It’s roster engineering: keep the core intact while adding elite shooting depth that could decide a few playoff-caliber games.
