Grizzlies Secure Post: 3-Year, $30M Deal Agreed
8 Jul
Summary
- Memphis Grizzlies signed Quinten Post to a three-year, $30 million contract.
- Golden State Warriors opted not to match Memphis' offer sheet.
- Post brings floor spacing and size to the Grizzlies' rebuild.
The Memphis Grizzlies have secured the services of forward Quinten Post, agreeing to a three-year contract valued at $30 million. This deal was finalized after the Golden State Warriors chose not to match the offer sheet extended by the Grizzlies on July 6. Post's contract guarantees $9 million for the first year, with the remaining balance of the total sum being non-guaranteed over the subsequent two seasons.
The Warriors had extended a qualifying offer of $2.6 million to Post, indicating their desire to retain him, but Memphis presented a significantly more lucrative guaranteed offer. Post, selected 52nd overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, demonstrated potential by shooting 40.8% from three-point range in his rookie campaign. He also had a notable 13-point performance in a Game 4 playoff win against the Houston Rockets.
Post's move to Memphis is strategically significant for the Grizzlies, who are initiating a rebuild following trades of prominent players like Ja Morant and Santi Aldama. His ability to stretch the floor with his three-point shooting and 7-foot frame provides valuable offensive spacing, particularly when paired with other bigs like Zach Edey. Defensively, Post's size also offers rim protection potential as he continues to develop his game.
