Quinten Post

[clyde21]

was neutral on Post throughout, very niche fit if you're looking for THAT type of big...he's huge with *some* playmaking potential and potentially stretch if he can translate athletically

we haven't had this type of big in a while so we'll see

[vvoland]

He seems better than a lot of the bigs that went before him

And more agile than people give him credit for

I thought he wasn't a great vertical athlete but was pretty fluid in the hips

Jokic doesn't have a vertical game either. But he did okay for himself. Not saying Post will be anywhere in the universe of Jokic.

I like the way he gets blocks, so unlike Wiseman. And some of his highlight passes are Jokic like too.

Just hope he has something in him, like TJD done so far that so many didn't think he had. In MDJ we believe.

I guess the overall theory was that you can't trade cash for a guy, but you can trade a pick for a guy and then give cash for the pick? I thought I had read (a bunch of times) that we couldn't buy a pick, but I also haven't kept up entirely on the CBA in the last few years. Anyone understand how we were able to get the pick back for money?

EDIT: that's not quite right either I suppose, because we took Waters into a trade exception. So why did we need to do the dance where we gave them the pick and then got it back? Rather than just taking Waters into the exception, and sending cash back, then drafting Post with the pick?

What am I missing? I thought we traded this pick

lol, we traded the pick and then paid for the player that was selected with it!

I’m lost but I guess all I need to know is this guy is on the team now

Traded pick 52 for Waters. Thunders traded 52 to move up to 40 from Portland. Dubbs bought back pick 52.

The only thing that seems to confused most people is the 1st apron with Waters trade. That would restrict Dubbs from buying pick. Seems like Portland will trade pick 52 officially at start of new CAP year to make it legal... after dropping CP3 and/or Klay.

We traded the pick for the guy before the draft, and then during the draft bought the pick (from another team) for Post. I dont know that its for certain we still acquire that pick of Post isnt available at 52. Must have really liked Waters (and Post).

Re: buying a pick. We cant buy a oick this year, we already spent our 2023-24 cash in the Wannamaker… i mean Joseph trade. So the purchase of #52 is coming from 2024-25 league year and will be finalized in July - also hard caps us at the 2nd apron. (about 90% certain).

Trust the Postess?

Trading a pick vs buying a pick vs buying a player have different rules. The Warriors were struggling to buy draft picks in general because of the league changing how they value later picks and developing players with larger rosters and G-league teams, and also because the Warriors made a few teams look foolish with some "cheap" 2nd round picks.

I think Post makes some sense in that the FA bigs are either ancient, oft-injured, and are virtually unplayable, or are expensive.

Also the West has some serious size to contend with on a nightly basis. Positionless basketball worked it's way down to high school and those skills have been developed for 2 generations now and once again we are in the NBA mode of size always helps.

Memphis is trying to go back to the grind days it seems, and they are pretty much the only team doing that.

After looking at the draft prospects a week ago, I found only 1 person who shot 40+% from 3 while measuring 7ft or more w/o shoes. That 1 person? Quentin Post.

[GunnerWRX]

He has a 15% TO rate so he is a good fit.

[floppymoose]

The W's draft a seven footer with an NBA body and some offensive game. Martha, pass me the smelling salts.
Although with those short arms, defense will be a struggle. How about twin tower power forwards with TJD? lol

Dude can apparently hit the three. Hence, Kerr will play him on the wing with GP2 in the post.

I mean, sure? The real question is, will he be wrong to do so?

[floppymoose]

SIX FOULS! w00t!

[Coxy]

Lets pray he's another Walker Kessler, but with 40% 3 point shooting.

Dude is 25 soon apparently. He might be Walker's dad.

[Jester_]

Somewhere out there Jozef just had the the world's most soviet orgasm seeing a legit 7 footer on our team

[Mac1958]

The league is clearly getting bigger, with seven foot, high BBIQ, multi-skilled centers popping up all over the place. This weird allergy we've had for big centers needs to end. We have to at least TRY, and the Wiseman mess can't scare us off.

[Onus]

I'm kind of more excited about him than TJD.
