The Warriors are losing a valuable member of their frontcourt to NBA free agency.
After center Quinten Post signed a three-year, $30 million offer sheet with the Memphis Grizzlies, the Warriors reportedly have decided not to match it, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Tuesday, citing sources.

The Golden State Warriors decided not to match Quinten Post’s three-year, $30 million offer sheet with the Grizzlies, allowing the 7-footer to join Memphis, sources tell ESPN. The Grizzlies add Post to a reshaped frontline that includes No. 3 pick Cameron Boozer, Zach Edey,… https://t.co/rQ5KYqV2YE

Per Charania, it’s the first time since 2020 that an NBA team has lost a player to an offer sheet, when the Sacramento Kings declined to match the Atlanta Hawks’ four-year, $72 million offer to Bogdan Bogdanovic.
In two seasons with the Warriors, Post averaged 7.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in 16.9 minutes across 109 games (49 starts). The 7-foot stretch big man was a key 3-point threat for Golden State, shooting 36.4 percent from behind the arc on over four attempts per game.
Though he carved out a significant role in the Bay, the Dutch native was set to enter the 2026-27 NBA season as the No. 3 center on the Warriors’ depth chart, behind returning veterans Al Horford and Kristaps Porziņģis.
In the end, as Golden State persists in their courtship of LeBron James this offseason, general manager Mike Dunleavy apparently decided $30 million was more than they were willing to offer Post right now.
