Quinten Post is signing a three-year, $30 million Quinten Post offer sheet with the Memphis Grizzlies, and the Golden State Warriors now have until 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday to decide whether to keep him. The restricted free agent center’s deadline is tied to whether Golden State matches the deal.
Quinten Post and Memphis Grizzlies
George Roussakis and Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports landed the offer sheet for Post with the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday morning. The terms put a fixed price on a player Golden State drafted 52nd overall in 2024, after a rookie season in which he appeared in 42 games.
Post’s offensive value showed up quickly. He made 73 3s in those 42 games at a nearly 41 percent clip, then followed with 33.6% from 3 on 4.1 attempts per game in only 17.3 minutes. For a center taken late in the draft, that shooting profile made him a rotation piece rather than a development project.
Golden State Warriors roster math
The Warriors gave Post a $2.6 million qualifying offer, which kept him in restricted free agency and gave them the right to match any outside offer sheet. They are $38.5 million below the second apron, not including Draymond Green, but they are already hard-capped at the second apron because of their free agent agreement with De’Anthony Melton.
Golden State also spent this month prioritizing Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis in free agency and re-signed them on multi-year deals. That leaves the back end of the roster tighter than it would be otherwise, and it gives Post’s new price a different weight than his qualifying offer did.
Matisse Thybulle and Bogdan Bogdanovic
The deal is the first offer sheet of $5 million or more per season since Matisse Thybulle signed a four-year, $33.1 million offer sheet in 2023. The Portland Trail Blazers matched that contract, and the last player lost to an offer sheet came in 2020, when Bogdan Bogdanovic signed a four-year, $72 million offer sheet with the Atlanta Hawks and the Sacramento Kings elected not to match.
That sequence leaves Tuesday’s deadline as the only decision point that matters. If the Warriors match, Post stays in Golden State on the new terms; if they do not, Memphis gets a young center who already proved he can stretch the floor.
