Thank you! Let me re-phrase, can we extend Anderson right AFTER this season?
No. He’s under contract for next year, with no team option or player option. Contracts can’t be renegotiated unless a team is under the cap. Contracts can only be extended after the second anniversary of when the deal is signed.
BTW, we will get early Bird rights on Anderson after next season, so we wouldn’t need to touch the MLE. However, when we are so far into the lux, there is no guarantee we will even use it.
Thank you! My point is, rather than bitting dust on FA market, I would try to re-sign Anderson who has been crucial player for us, I hope it make sense.
