Grizzlies sign Warriors center Quinten Post to three-year, $30 million offer sheet

The Memphis Grizzlies reached agreement on a three-year, $30 million offer sheet with restricted free agent Quinten Post on Monday. The Golden State Warriors have until 11:59 p.m. ET Tuesday to match the contract or lose the 24-year-old center.

George Roussakis and Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports negotiated the offer sheet on Monday morning. The Warriors had issued Post a $2.6 million qualifying offer and remain interested in retaining him. The Warriors selected Post 52nd overall in the 2024 NBA draft.

He entered the rotation midway through his rookie season and provided floor spacing at center, making 73 three-pointers at nearly 41 percent in 42 games. His three-point accuracy fell to 33.6 percent in the most recent season, though he still attempted 4.1 threes per game in 17.3 minutes. Matching the offer sheet would push the Warriors closer to the second apron.

The team is already hard-capped at the second apron after agreeing to terms with veteran guard De'Anthony Melton. The Warriors are $38.5 million below the second apron, not including Draymond Green. Post spent much of the season behind veterans Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis, both of whom the team re-signed to multiyear deals this month.

This marks the first offer sheet of $5 million or more per season since Matisse Thybulle signed with the Dallas Mavericks in 2023. If the Warriors decline to match, it would be the first time since 2020 that an NBA team lost a player via offer sheet.
