Quinten Post\u2019s tenure as a member of the Golden State Warriors has officially come to an end. On Tuesday, a few minutes before the deadline for the team to make a decision, ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania reported that Golden State had chosen not to match the offer sheet that the Memphis Grizzlies had extended to the 26-year old Dutch big man. And with that, Post departs the Bay Area and joins a Grizzlies squad that is rebuilding after trading away Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Desmond Bane.<\/p>\n

The Warriors had extended the qualifying offer<\/a> to Post this offseason, which made him a restricted free agent. As a result, other teams could only offer Post a multi-year deal, and the Warriors had the right to match any offer sheet he signed.<\/p>\n

Memphis gave Post a three-year, $30-million, but they did so in a cheeky manner to discourage the Warriors from matching. Only the first of the three years is guaranteed (at just $9 million), and some of the $30 million is tied to highly unlikely incentives. However, incentives in contracts count towards the apron, making it more difficult for the Dubs to match. With the team nearing their spending limit, still waiting on LeBron James, and already reuniting with Al Horford and Kristaps Porzi\u0146\u0123is, it seemed very unlikely that they would match Memphis\u2019 offer. And indeed, they didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Post, who was taken with the No. 52 pick in the 2024 draft, departs after appearing in 109 games for the Warriors (with 49 starts), plus 12 playoff games. According to ESPN\u2019s Bobby Marks, it\u2019s the first time since 2020 that a restricted free agent received an offer sheet of at least $5 million and it wasn\u2019t matched by his original team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quinten Post\u2019s tenure as a member of the Golden State Warriors has officially come to an end.
