Overview
- ESPN reported Monday that restricted free agent Quinten Post agreed to a three‑year, $30 million offer sheet from the Memphis Grizzlies.
- The signing gives Golden State until 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday to match the offer and keep Post under the same contract terms.
- Front‑office insiders say the Warriors are trending toward declining to match because a roughly $10 million annual salary would push their payroll toward the NBA’s second‑apron limits and cut roster maneuverability.
- Only the first season of the three‑year deal is fully guaranteed, which lowers long‑term risk for Memphis while still presenting an immediate cap hit if Golden State were to match.
- Post has emerged as a floor‑spacing reserve for Golden State, averaging about 7.7 points and 4.0 rebounds last season, and the outcome will determine whether Memphis adds a young stretch center or the Warriors preserve room to pursue larger offseason targets.
