Center Quinten Post has signed a three-year, $30 million offer sheet with the Memphis Grizzlies, putting the Golden State Warriors on the clock. Golden State has until Tuesday evening to decide whether to match the offer and retain the restricted free agent, or let him depart. Post, drafted 52nd overall in 2024, emerged as a floor-spacing threat at center, hitting 73 threes at a 41% clip in his rookie season.

While his three-point accuracy dipped to 33.6% this past season, Post maintained a valuable volume of attempts from deep for a center. He also showed defensive improvement, attracting the Grizzlies' attention. The Warriors extended a $2.6 million qualifying offer, indicating their continued interest, but the substantial contract figure presents a financial challenge.

Golden State is managing a tight salary cap, aiming to potentially sign LeBron James and retain Draymond Green. With the team already hard-capped and having prioritized re-signing veterans Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis, losing Post may be an anticipated outcome. This situation marks the first time since Matisse Thybulle in 2023 that a player has signed an offer sheet exceeding $5 million annually.
