Restricted free agent Quinten Post is signing a three-year, $30 million contract offer sheet with the Memphis Grizzlies, according to sources via ESPN. The move forces a major roster decision for the Golden State Warriors as the free agency period continues.
Per the report, the Warriors have until 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday to match the offer sheet. Because Post is a restricted free agent, Golden State retains the right of first refusal, allowing them to keep the player by matching the exact terms of the deal offered by Memphis. If the Warriors decline to match the $30 million total, Post will officially join the Grizzlies roster.
The three-year deal signifies a substantial investment for Memphis, while the Warriors must now weigh the financial implications of the $10 million average annual salary against Post's value to their current rotation. Post was originally drafted by Golden State, and his potential departure would leave the team seeking frontcourt depth.
