SAN FRANCISCO \u2013 The Warriors cut one of the NBA\u2019s best marksmen, and superstar Steph Curry\u2019s younger brother, in a widely expected move.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Golden State, who had signed Seth Curry as the 15th man on the roster during training camp, announced it had let him go on Saturday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Per NBA finance expert Keith Smith<\/a> of Spotrac, Seth Curry\u2019s contract was an exhibit 9 deal<\/a>, which did not count against the salary cap after training camp. Had the team kept him on the roster after 5 p.m. on Saturday, the Warriors would have been required to cut or trade a player to make room for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s NBA cap expert Bobby Marks<\/a> reported that the Warriors can sign Curry, or any other player, to a veteran minimum deal on or after Nov. 11 while staying under the second apron of the salary cap.<\/p>\n

If a teams\u2019 cumulative salary exceeds the second apron, which is $207.8 million<\/a>, the franchise is hit with a series of heavy restrictions when it comes to adding additional players or draft picks. Per Spotrac, the Warriors are now $2,019,570 under the second apron.\u00a0<\/p>\n

General manager Mike Dunleavy alluded to this inevitable move during his preseason press conference a few weeks ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s some cap and apron stuff that we\u2019ve got to deal with, but that\u2019s something for our strategy team to figure out,\u201d Dunleavy said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seth Curry did not play during the preseason. Last season, he led the league by making 45.6% of his 3-point shots in Charlotte.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Warriors also waived rookie guard LJ Cryer<\/a>, who had made a name for himself as a fourth quarter gunner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
