The Golden State Warriors have decided not to match the Memphis Grizzlies' three-year, $30 million offer sheet for Quinten Post, who was drafted 52nd in 2024. Post's deal includes a guaranteed first year at $9 million, with the final two seasons set at $8.5 million each, although those latter years are not guaranteed. The Warriors, constrained by a hard cap at the second apron, opted against matching the offer despite Post's promising rookie season where he made 73 three-pointers at nearly 41% shooting.
