Summary
Memphis landed restricted free agent Quinten Post after Golden State let a three-year, $30 million offer sheet go unmatched following a little more than 36 hours to decide.
A probable second-apron hard cap helped push the Warriors away, because Post's deal carries bonuses that count toward apron salary even though the incentives are unlikely and excluded from the cap.
The contract guarantees only year one at a $9 million base salary for 2026-27, while the final two seasons carry non-guaranteed $8.5 million base salaries plus additional unlikely bonuses.
Post, the No. 52 pick in 2024, emerged as a useful backup and spot starter in 2025-26, averaging 7.7 points and 4.0 rebounds across 67 games for Golden State.
ESPN said it is the first unmatched NBA offer sheet worth at least $5 million annually since Bogdan Bogdanovic left Sacramento for Atlanta in 2020.
