Losing the Shot: What the Grizzlies' Signing of Quinten Post Means for the NBA's Roster Management The Memphis Grizzlies' recent signing of reserve center Quinten Post has sent shockwaves through the NBA, particularly among Golden State Warriors fans who saw him slip away without a match.
The details of the deal are telling – a three year, $30 million offer sheet with only the first season guaranteed at $9 million, plus some rather unlikely incentives that may have deterred the Warriors from matching.
The NBA has long been criticized for its bloated contracts and inefficient use of cap space. The Warriors' decision not to match Post's offer sheet is a prime example of this issue.
