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
Stephen Curry and Kawhi Leonard have each signed two-year contract extensions, a structure shaped by the NBA's over-38 rule. The rule restricts how teams can pay players who will turn 38 during a contract, effectively capping future salary raises, so stars approaching that age often take shorter deals. Analysts are breaking down how the clause influenced the two veterans' negotiations with the Warriors and Raptors.
Why now: Both stars recently signed extensions, prompting debate about how the over-38 rule shaped their contract terms.
