Seth Curry will join the unrestricted free agent list, as the Sacramento Kings rescind their second year qualifying offer for the guard.

The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski  tweeted over the weekend that “Sacramento plans to rescind the qualifying offer on Seth Curry, allowing [the] guard to become [an] unrestricted free agent.”

Curry signed a two-year deal with the Kings before the 2015-16 campaign, but opted out of the second season.

Curry played 44 games last season, averaging 6.8 points and 1.5 assists. He started to find his straps in the back-half of the season, averaging 14.4 points in the Kings’ final 11 games.

Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bees reported that the Kings need more size and athleticism at point guard, shooting guard, and small forward, especially to improve their defense.  With performing veteren Darren Collison and promising Ben McLemore on the squad, removing Curry from their payroll has allowed them to pursue other options, such as Matt Barnes, who just signed a two year, $12 million deal for the franchise.

Curry is now free to explore free agency options, but without a counter offer scenario, his leverage to demand big money will be limited.  Still, the Curry name carries a lot of cred in the NBA at the moment.
