Stephen Curry and Kawhi Leonard have both signed two-year contract extensions with the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors respectively, and the structure of the deals is drawing attention. The length is tied to the NBA's over-38 rule, which restricts how teams can pay veteran players on long contracts once they reach age 38 during the deal, making two-year terms a common workaround.
