Sources: Warriors' Post signing offer sheet with Grizzlies - ESPN

Restricted free agent Quinten Post is signing a three-year, $30 million contract offer sheet with the Memphis Grizzlies, league sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

The Golden State Warriors have until 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday to match or they will lose the third-year center.

He also made a leap defensively, grading out well in analytics models and enticing the Grizzlies to try to poach him from the Warriors in free agency.

The Warriors gave Post a $2.6 million qualifying offer and remain fond of him, but the inflated price tag could make it difficult to match, as they navigate how to build the back end of their roster, continue a pursuit of unrestricted free agent LeBron James and keep financial wiggle room to eventually bring Draymond Green back, as intended.
