Golden State will sign Seth Curry to a contract for the remainder of the season, ESPN reported Sunday, combining the siblings and two of the best shooters in NBA history for the first time. Seth Curry had played with the Warriors during training camp and the preseason but was waived because of financial constraints. The Warriors are hard-capped at the second apron, meaning they could only roster 14 players entering the season. Enough time has elapsed for the Warriors to fit Seth's veteran-minimum, prorated contract into their salary cap for the rest of the campaign. The younger brother and former Net led the NBA in 3-point percentage last season, shooting at a 45.6 percent clip with Charlotte. He has bounced around with nine teams over 11 seasons, his height (6-foot-1) and defense making him…...

That isn't to say that all the politicians, bankers and economists who knew Epstein were actually involved in his crimes in any way.

Her three-pointer from the corner late in the third…...

Bush and the hawkish liberalism of Democratic Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson and Harry Truman.
