1: Seth Curry
Unlike VanVleet and Trent, Seth Curry doesn’t have a player option for 2023-24 and will automatically be an unrestricted free agent this summer. He spent the past season and a half with the Nets after being part of the James Harden-Ben Simmons trade.
In the 19 games that he played in Brooklyn after being traded in 2021-22, Curry averaged 14.9 points and shot 49.3% from the field and 46.8% from three. He had sort of a down season with the Nets in 2022-23, though, averaging only 19.9 minutes (the lowest for him since 2018-19) in 61 games, but he did shoot 40.5% from deep. He’s a career 43.5% three-point shooter.
Because his role diminished in Brooklyn last season, Curry will likely sign elsewhere this summer. He’ll be a target for many teams and should come at a relatively cheap cost. He’s undersized (as is VanVleet) and doesn’t do much on the defensive end, but he’s a more effective three-point shooter than VanVleet and Trent.
After missing out on his younger brother Steph in the 2009 draft, the closest that the Knicks will get to having the star shooter on their roster would be signing Seth in free agency.
This year’s free agency class is far from being stacked, but there are still a few players that should catch New York’s attention.
