The Warriors chose to unite Seth and Steph Curry when the franchise signed Seth to a one-year deal at the end of the September. On Saturday, the team announced that they waived Seth just ahead of their regular-season opener against the Lakers Tuesday.
While the transaction might seem odd, there's a reason the Warriors made the move now. According to Spotrac, Golden State is over the NBA's first salary-cap apron and has just above $2 million of room under the second apron. They are hard-capped at the second apron, since they are above the first apron and used their taxpayer mid-level exception to sign Al Horford.
