Updated · 2026–27 season
Quinten Post is on the books for $9,000,000 in 2026–27, the 5th largest cap hit on the Memphis Grizzlies roster and 6.4% of the team's $139.9M payroll.
That ranks 188th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 5.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $17,550,000 in guaranteed money.
The money declines rather than climbs, from $9,000,000 down to $8,550,000, a 5% drop that makes the back end easier to absorb in a trade.
Not every year is locked in: 2028-29 non-guaranteed.
The non-guaranteed money is not real money until it is: the team can waive him before the guarantee date and carry none of it, which is why the guaranteed total below is lower than the headline number.
At 26, the deal covers his age-26 through age-28 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.
He is the 5th highest-paid of the 19 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.
He is one of 19 players on the Memphis Grizzlies' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $139,883,634.
