Anderson is going into his 2nd year, not his 3rd, so unless I'm wrong, the Spurs can't pick up his 3rd year until after the 2011-2012 season. He was a rookie last season. Not sure on the deadline for McDyess.
Apologies if I missed it.
What are the deadlines for picking up Anderson's 3rd year and for terminating McDyess's 3rd year with the buyout?
Is that June 30th or is it a different date?

Yes and yes.
Spurs must decide what to do with both today. For whatever reason, they are waiting until the last day.
Hopefully the Spurs can flip Dice's contract and get something decent big man wise in return.
I hope we can but not if Anderson is included, wouldn't mind Neal. Would be nice to go into the lockout with a solid big man.
should just pick up anderson whose on what? minimum rookie contract around 1m...
still no news ?
Nope, you pick up the option on the 3rd year after the 1st, and you pick up the option on the 4th year after the 2nd. Reference: Ian Mahinmi.
I stand corrected then....
Non-lockout update: Spurs postpone contract decision on McDyess, hope to convince him to play one more season. bit.ly/lbbtB1

Props to Dice for accepting to extend the deadline. With a lockout he took the risk of not being paid the guaranteed portion of his contract. Classy move by him.![]()
cool. If it's a short season Dyess might want to play. Short season is gonna benefit Spurs tremendously![]()
If the season starts in February, like in '99, he may decide to play out his contract.
If the season starts in Feb... I like our chances. Imagine if we had only played 50 games last year. I like those chances.
I hope we will hear quickly some news about Anderson because no news would mean that Spurs have given up on him which would be a damn bad move.
no way spurs have given up on anderson.
only news I could get from McDonald:Normally, they'd have until Oct. Lockout will postpone that deadline.
Why is everyone worried about picking up Anderson's option in June?
Yeah, it's not a qualifying offer (due in June), it's an option, normally in Oct.
Like the very end of October.
Because if there is still a lockout in October, Spurs won't be able to pick the option before the deadline.
In case you haven't noticed it, a lot of teams have picked options for their first round picks in the past few days/hours.
If it's a new CBA, why would the old CBA's deadline apply?
Because the deadline is also in the player contract.
