The Golden State Warriors declined to match a three‑year, $30 million offer sheet for reserve center Quinten Post, allowing the restricted free agent to sign with the Memphis Grizzlies. Post’s deal guarantees $9 million in its first year, with the Grizzlies attaching $1.35 million in unlikely incentives that make the contract less attractive for a tax‑team like Golden State.

The remaining two seasons are each $8.5 million and include $1.2 million in unlikely incentives, but neither is guaranteed. Post becomes the first restricted free agent in the $5 million‑plus range to leave on an offer sheet since Bogdan Bogdanovic in 2020.

Life‑time production shows Post has 73 three‑pointers at 41% in 42 games, but his recent season dropped to 33.6% while still averaging 4.1 points per 17.3 minutes. His defensive improvement has attracted Memphis, who saw him as a stretch‑ball option that would slot behind Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis.

Warriors’ depth chart, with Horford and Porzingis already on the roster, left little room for Post, and the $9 million incentive made the offer too steep. Post’s exit removes a stretch‑ball center, solidifying the Warriors’ frontcourt and freeing salary space for a future free‑agent target.
