Original: Why did Steph Curry, Kawhi Leonard sign two-year deals? Explaining the over-38 rule
Stephen Curry and Kawhi Leonard have each signed two-year contracts, a length shaped by the NBA's over-38 rule. The rule prevents teams from circumventing the salary cap by offering veteran players multi-year deals that extend past their 38th birthday, treating those future seasons as deferred salary. The contracts reflect how both stars and their teams structured deals around the restriction.
