Following the trade that sent his son to the Hornets, the elder Curry said &#8220;it&#8217;s a dream come true&#8221; to see him donning his number for his former team.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a dream come true as a dad\u2026 I haven\u2019t stopped smiling since the trade was made.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dell Curry on his son Seth Curry being traded to the Hornets and wearing his #30 \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>(via <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@NBA<\/a>)<a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LJjpoiILoy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/LJjpoiILoy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClutchPoints\/status\/1756472218102497352?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 11, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, after the trade, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecharlottepost.com\/news\/2024\/02\/13\/hornets\/new-hornets-williams-and-curry-make-immediate-impact\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Seth<\/a> spoke about being excited to play for the Hornets and wear his father&#8217;s jersey number.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c[Being home] feels good.

The Charlotte native offers excellent perimeter shooting and is a long-time NBA veteran. Additionally, he provides depth and can offer a boost off the bench.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the Hornets have had a busy offseason. In addition to re-signing Curry, the Hornets also re-signed wing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bridgmi02.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-07-16_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miles Bridges<\/a> to a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/07\/06\/hornets-re-sign-controversial-forward\/\" target=\"_self\">three-year, $75 million contract<\/a>.

Additionally, they have yet to make a playoff appearance since their seven-game loss to the Miami Heat in the first round of the 2016 NBA Playoffs.
