Quinten Post Signs Three-Year Deal with Memphis Grizzlies

Priority Sports Reveals Signing

Memphis Grizzlies have officially added center Quinten Post via free agency, his representation Priority Sports revealed on July 7. The Grizzlies agreed to a three‑year, $30 million offer sheet with Post on July 6. Golden State had until 10:59 p.m. central on July 7 to match it or watch the player become a Grizzly.

Post’s Background and Stats

Post, a 7‑foot, 238‑pound big man, spent his first two NBA seasons with the Golden State Warriors after being drafted 52nd overall in the 2024 draft. Over 109 games (49 starts), he averages 7.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 16.9 minutes per contest.

His three‑point shooting has emerged as a weapon: a 36.4 % clip on 1.5 attempts per game, totaling 166 made threes—more than the 150 shots he has taken inside the arc during his career.

What This Means for the Grizzlies

With Zach Edey already anchoring the paint as a rim protector, Memphis will layer depth by adding former Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart when that trade finalizes. The trio of Edey, Stewart and Post gives the Grizzlies three distinct center types—rim protector, low‑post scorer and perimeter shooter—bolstering a young core that includes 2026 draft picks Cam Boozer, Karim Lopez and Richie Saunders.

The signing creates spacing for established talent like No. 3 overall pick Boozer and rookie Cedric Coward, while the front office continues to build around a blend of youth and complementary skill sets. In addition to the new centers, the team remains focused on integrating its 2026 prospects as they transition to the NBA.

Key Numbers at a Glance

  • Contract: Three years, $30 million
  • Height/Weight: 7 ft, 238 lb
  • NBA Stats (2024‑25): 7.8 pts, 3.8 reb, 16.9 min per game
  • 3‑P Shooting: 36.4 % on 1.5 attempts per game (166 threes made)
  • Draft Position: 52nd overall, 2024

The Grizzlies’ move adds a versatile shooter to a frontcourt that already features size and rim protection, positioning Memphis for a competitive push in the upcoming season.
