On October 1, the Warriors and Kumingga reached a new contract of 2 years and $48.5 million. After the farce of both sides ended, the Warriors signed Seth Curry with a one-year contract. How did the Warriors sign Seth without salary space? Sign the training camp contract first, cut before the regular season starts, and wait until mid-November to sign the formal contract.

The Warriors have only $2 million left after renewing their contract with Kuminga and cannot sign people with their veteran's basic salary (occupies 2.296 million in salary cap). That is, at the beginning of the new season, the Warriors are unable to sign the 15th player. They will not be qualified to sign the 15th player until November 15. How did the Warriors sign a one-year contract with Seth Curry? Follow-up report by Brett Siegel: As far as I know, this is a training camp contract - for salary space considerations, Seth Curry will join the training camp with the team until he is cut after the start of the new season, and then re-sign a standard contract on November 15.

According to the labor-management agreement, the "conversion rules" are subject to the basic salary, which means it can be "converted by day" - if a player signs a team with a basic salary of half of the season, his salary will only be half in the team's salary book, and he can only get half of the salary.

The Warriors used this rule - the Warriors first signed Seth Curry with a training camp contract (Exhibit 9) and asked him to train with the team. The training camp contract was not included in the salary cap; before the regular season starts, the Warriors cut him so that Seth can train with the Warriors for 20 days; on November 15, the Warriors will sign him with another one-year minimum salary, and then his basic salary will be less than $2 million.

Ses has been playing in the NBA for 11 years. According to the labor-management agreement, Seth's basic salary is US$3.634 million, of which the Warriors need to pay US$2.296 million, and the remaining 1.338 million will be subsidized by the league. Therefore, compared to directly joining other teams, Seth will lose a total of US$468,500 by signing the Warriors in mid-November.

fans joked that Seth's money was lost and asked his brother to make up for it in full.

35-year-old Seth Curry will occupy the 15th man position of the Warriors. He will soon go to the Bay Area to participate in the Warriors training camp. The Curry brothers join forces with the Warriors. They become the second brother in the league today, and the other combination is the Bucks' Antetokounmpo brothers.

Last season, Seth played 68 regular season games for the Hornets, averaging 15.6 minutes per game and scoring 6.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists. The Warriors will be his ninth team.
