​New Memphis Grizzlies big man Quinten Post reacted on Wednesday to joining his new team, signaling a fresh start and big expectations after the Grizzlies secured him on a three-year deal this week to pull him away from the Golden State Warriors in restricted free agency. In an Instagram story, Post acknowledged the agreement and shared a glimpse of his excitement about heading to Memphis. The former Boston College standout has plenty to be excited about, as he landed a strong free-agent contract and will continue his NBA career with the Grizzlies. His deal is valued at up to $30 million, with only one season fully guaranteed and portions of the total tied to incentives. Regardless of the exact structure, it’s a payday he earned by establishing himself as a capable role player in the league.
Post, who was overlooked by many teams in the draft, was selected by Golden State at No. 52 overall. He rewarded the Warriors by providing valuable frontcourt minutes over his first two seasons in the league. As a rookie, he posted 8.1 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while hitting 40.8 percent of his three-pointers, a level of shooting that earned him playoff minutes and helped him secure a larger role as a sophomore. While his production plateaued somewhat, it remained solid, illustrating his value as a dependable role player.
For the Grizzlies, Post offers versatility and depth that fits well with a team already looking to reshape its frontcourt. He is the kind of player who can stretch the floor, defend multiple positions, and contribute off the bench or in the starting mix as needed. His arrival coincides with Memphis’ efforts to bolster the frontcourt around a core that includes budding talent and veterans alike, including the No. 3 overall pick, Cameron Boozer, who joined the team in the recent draft. Boozer’s future with the franchise is a focal point for Memphis as they hope he develops into a face of the franchise in time, while Post provides immediate depth and experience to help the frontcourt compete at a high level.
The path to this move involved a somewhat uncommon restricted free-agency outcome, in which Memphis’ offer sheet created a scenario that made it difficult for Golden State to match. That dynamic contributed to Post’s decision to sign with the Grizzlies and prepare for a new chapter in the 2026-27 season. The resulting pairing gives Memphis a versatile big man who can contribute in multiple facets of the game and a potential bargain if he reaches new heights with more NBA experience and consistent opportunities.
As the Grizzlies integrate their revamped frontcourt, followers and fans will be watching closely to see how Post and Boozer develop alongside established teammates. The combination of Post’s shooting touch and the youth and potential of Boozer creates an intriguing dynamic for Memphis, one that could yield valuable dividends in the near future. If Post continues to grow into a more well-rounded contributor, the three-year deal could prove to be an excellent value for a Grizzlies team intent on sustained contention.
