Seth Curry may not be hyped up outside of being Stephen Curry's brother, but he has turned into a quality NBA role player. He helped the Portland Trail Blazers make a deep run in the playoffs to the Western Conference Finals and is set to hit the open free agency market.
Even though he hasn't been talked about a lot as a target for many teams, he is going to be a quality addition for whoever decides to sign him.
During the 2018-19 NBA season with the Trail Blazers, Curry ended up averaging 7.9 points per game to go along with 1.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists. He shot 45.6 percent from the field overall and knocked down 45.0 percent of his three-point attempts. As you can see from those numbers, he is a three-point specialist.
Standing in at 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds, Curry plays mostly shooting guard, but can play some minutes at the point guard position. There are still some questions about his ability to handle the ball, but he is chomping at the bit to prove himself any chance he gets.
All of that being said, let's dive in and take a look at three teams who would be ideal NBA free agency destinations for Curry this offseason.
3. Portland Trail Blazers
There is no question that the Blazers have to be added to this list. Curry fit nicely with them and provided much-needed quality depth behind Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. With Rodney Hood potentially on his way out of town in free agency, Curry would be a very affordable option for them.
Staying in a place where he knows the system and fit well with his teammates would have to be of interest for Curry.
2. Oklahoma City Thunder
Creating money is going to be the biggest issue for the Thunder this offseason, but Curry could be a nice cheap option for them. It has become obvious that the Thunder desperately need more shooting and that is something that Curry brings to the court. If they could find a way to get him, it would fill a major need.
Curry would be able to come off the bench behind Russell Westbrook or potentially play alongside him. He would take shooting pressure on the perimeter off of Paul George as well. Playing alongside those two guys would likely result in quite a few open looks from the three-point line.
1. Indiana Pacers
One of the most underrated teams to keep an eye on this offseason in free agency is the Indiana Pacers. Seth Curry may not have been hyped up as a target, but the Pacers need perimeter players and have money to spend. That could make a lot of sense for Curry.
Victor Oladipo is expected to miss the first couple months of the season, which could give Curry the opportunity to slide into the starting lineup. At this point in time, even when Oladipo does return, the Pacers don't have anyone to play behind him. Curry to Indiana would make a lot of sense for both sides.
