SAN FRANCISCO – A few days after the 2025 NBA Draft, a few of the Warriors’ previous second-rounders were brought back for the upcoming season.
Gui Santos, a 2022 selection, and 2024’s Quinten Post were both brought back for a combined $4.1 million after Golden State exercised their team options, per reports on Sunday afternoon.
Santos’ contract of $2.2 million is non-guaranteed.
This comes one day after the Warriors reportedly tendered a $7.9 million qualifying offer to restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga, who is expected to command a salary of over $20 million.
Teams can officially begin negotiating with free agents on Monday.
Bringing back the pair of rotation players on cheap contracts will aid the Warriors in avoiding the second-apron of the salary cap.
Post was the No. 52 pick out of Boston College last season, averaging 8.1 points per game and shooting 40.8% from 3-point range as a stretch five. The 25-year-old became a fixture in the rotation during the second half of the season, starting 14 games and playing in 42 total.
Santos, who turned 23 on Monday, earned a spot in coach Steve Kerr’s rotation as a high-energy forward who always seemed to come down with at least one improbable offensive rebound a game.
The Brazilian wing played in 56 games and averaged 4.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game while averaging just 13.6 minutes a night.
