Why Warriors had to cut Seth Curry
"ESPN's NBA cap expert Bobby Marks 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. If a teams' cumulative salary exceeds the second apron, which is $207.8 million, the franchise is hit with a series of heavy restrictions when it comes to adding additional players or draft picks."
"Per NBA finance expert Keith Smith of Spotrac, Seth Curry's contract was an exhibit 9 deal, 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.

Golden State waived sharpshooter Seth Curry and rookie guard LJ Cryer to manage roster and salary-cap apron constraints. Curry's exhibit 9 deal did not count against the salary cap during training camp, but keeping him past the roster deadline would have forced a corresponding cut or trade. The team remains approximately $2,019,570 under the NBA's second apron, allowing them to sign players to veteran-minimum deals after Nov. 11. Exceeding the second apron, set at $207.8 million, would trigger heavy restrictions on adding players or draft picks. General manager Mike Dunleavy referenced cap and apron considerations as part of roster strategy.
