A Bittersweet New Year’s Eve Awaits Hornets Fans
When the Charlotte Hornets host the Golden State Warriors on New Year’s Eve, it may look like just another regular-season contest on paper. But for Hornets fans, the night could carry a bittersweet undertone—especially if rumors of Seth Curry rejoining the Warriors alongside his superstar brother, Stephen, become reality.
Reports suggest Golden State is waiting for clarity around Jonathan Kuminga’s controversial free agency before finalizing roster decisions. Should Seth head west, the prospect of the Curry brothers uniting—both among the NBA’s deadliest long-range shooters—would create a fascinating storyline. Add Buddy Hield into the Warriors’ mix, and the Bay Area could suddenly field a three-point arsenal unlike anything the league has seen.
Saying Goodbye to a Hometown Hero
Charlotte knows firsthand just how dangerous Seth Curry can be. The sharpshooter led the NBA in three-point percentage last season, knocking down an incredible 45.6% of his attempts. While his time with the Hornets was brief, Curry quickly became a fan favorite—not only for his lights-out shooting but also for his professionalism and connection to the city.
Born and raised in Charlotte, Seth carried on the legacy of his father, Dell Curry, a beloved Hornets figure both on the court and in the broadcast booth. For fans, watching Seth suit up for his hometown team was a rare and special moment. Yet, with an already crowded roster and tough decisions looming, the Hornets ultimately had no choice but to let him walk.
A Future Built on Young Shooters
Although Curry’s departure stings, the Hornets are not without hope. Charlotte has stockpiled young talent with the potential to grow into elite shooters. Kon Knueppel and Liam McNeeley have flashed perimeter promise, while LaMelo Ball’s playmaking could help elevate their games. Two-way signings Drew Peterson and Antonio Reeves also bring proven range to a team determined to keep spacing intact.
The Hornets may have lost a seasoned leader and hometown favorite, but the lessons from Seth Curry’s impact remain clear: in today’s NBA, you can never have too many shooters. As fans circle New Year’s Eve on the calendar, they’ll watch their team move forward with new weapons—while possibly bidding a fond farewell to one of their own.
