Seth Curry Signs Unusual Warriors Contract Clause after Joining Brother Steph

Seth Curry has signed an unusual Warriors contract clause after joining brother Steph in San Francisco.

Steph has already cemented his status as one of the greatest players in Golden State Warriors history, leading the team to four NBA championships.

His younger brother Seth's career has not followed the same level of success, playing for nine different teams so far.

But now, for the first time, his younger brother looks set to join him on court in Warriors colours.

While Steph is tied down on a two year-deal worth more than $122 million, Seth has agreed to a more unusual contract.

The 35-year-old has signed an Exhibit 9 contract, with the news first reported by ESPN's Shams Charania.

He wrote: "Free agent guard Seth Curry has agreed to a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors, sources tell ESPN.

"Seth and Stephen Curry team up on the Warriors beginning with training camp on Wednesday."

What is an Exhibit 9 contract?

They are one-year, league minimum deals that are usually given out to fill pre-season rosters.

Importantly, they do not count against a team's salary cap until the regular season begins.

Only if a player remains on the roster for the opening night, then the deal converts into a standard non-guaranteed contract that counts against the cap.

The majority of players that sign an Exhibit 9 deal are either released before the season begins, or move to the G League, the NBA's minor league.

For Seth, it means he will play for the Warriors during their training camp and pre-season, but there is no guarantee he will make the roster for the regular season.

However, Golden State would be able to re-sign him later in the season on a veteran minimum salary.

It is seen as a clever way for the Warriors to manage the salary cap.

Will the Curry brothers play together?

Now they are both on the same NBA roster, fans may get to see the Curry brothers playing together in Warriors jerseys.

They begin their pre-season on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

And they will play a total of five games, meaning there is ample opportunity for the brothers to play together.

The Warriors start their regular season on October 21, once again taking on the Lakers.

Although the Warriors are not one of the favourites to make the NBA finals this year, with players like Steph Curry, fans will be hopeful of upsetting the odds.
