Trouble looms for Warriors as Quinten Post lured by $30M Memphis offer

Restricted free agent Quinten Post is signing a three-year, $30 million contract offer sheet with the Memphis Grizzlies, according to NBA insider Shams Charania.

The Golden State Warriors have until 11:59 p.m. ET Tuesday to match the offer. However, that seems highly unlikely given the considerable contract from Memphis.

Post is coming off a 2025-26 campaign where he averaged 7.7 points, four rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 44% from the field and 33.6% from the field. The big man played a depth role for the Warriors, which leaves Golden State in a tricky situation.

The team can match the Grizzlies’ offer, which would be a massive overpay. Or they can let Post walk, which would leave a glaring hole on the roster.

Post was the 52nd overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and spent the last two seasons as a rotation player for the Warriors. Now, he’ll get the chance to have a starting role with the Grizzlies if the Warriors don’t match the offer by the deadline.

Golden State has already agreed to bring back center Kristaps Porzingis and forward Al Horford, which gives them limited financial flexibility to sign Post. The Warriors are also one of the reported six finalists in the LeBron James sweepstakes.

Thus, it seems certain Post will join No. 3 overall pick Cam Boozer in Memphis as the Grizzlies look to rebuild the franchise with fresh faces. The team traded star guard Ja Morant to the Porland Trail Blazers in exchange for forwards Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, signals the organization’s desire to revamp the roster.

Post appears to be the latest addition.
