The Philadelphia 76ers still have a problem when it comes to their collective three-point shooting despite the blockbuster offseason they have had. As such, a reunion with Seth Curry, one of their former guards, makes a lot of sense. After all, he is still available as a free agent. The Sixers still have a roster spot to spare, although it will require some attendant moves or the waiting game to free up space.
Curry, who spent nearly a couple of seasons in Philly from 2020 to 2022 as their starting shooting guard next to Ben Simmons, remains a free agent at this juncture. As a career 43.3 percent three-point shooter, it is somewhat surprising to still see him on the board, although age and injuries might have taken a hit on his stock. Be that as it may, the 76ers should at least inquire about his services in order to bolster their shooting for next season.
The 76ers should consider a reunion with Seth Curry to solve their shooting woes
Everyone already knows about the complications surrounding the 76ers' final roster opening, but that should not preclude the front office from looking at some last-ditch additions to the lineup, such as Curry.
Curry appeared in just 10 games this past season, but he was notably impactful in those outings for the Golden State Warriors. With LeBron James and Jaylen Brown now in the fold, shooting around them becomes an even bigger premium, and the 76ers would be remiss not to bring in even more infusion of shooting talent to smooth the edges for their offense.
The former 76ers guard is not only familiar with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, but he is also someone who can serve a double purpose of helping fix the team's shooting woes while also solidifying the backcourt. He can no longer create shots off the dribble on the secondary, but he remains a highly lethal shooter who is especially adept at moving without the ball and relocating around the perimeter.
Shooting is still pretty expensive in the league, but Curry is only going to cost the 76ers chump change. The real challenge is simply devising ways to allow them to actually fill their last open roster spot this season. If they are able to do that, going after the veteran sharpshooter should be high up their priority list given the way this team is currently constructed.
