Why Steph Curry and Kawhi Leonard signed two-year deals
Original: Why did Steph Curry, Kawhi Leonard sign two-year deals? Explaining the over-38 rule https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/763
Steph Curry and Kawhi Leonard have each signed two-year contract extensions with the Warriors and Raptors, a length shaped by the NBA's over-38 rule. The rule restricts how teams can structure contracts for players who will turn 38 during the deal, effectively blocking longer extensions that would circumvent the salary cap. The signings explain how veteran stars near the end of their careers are still securing significant money under the collective bargaining agreement.
Why now: Two of the NBA's biggest stars signed extensions whose unusual two-year length is tied to the league's over-38 rule, prompting explanation of how it works.
