The Golden State Warriors made a move on Friday that is both predictable and exciting. Golden State opted to convert rookie center Quinten Post’s two-way contract into a standard NBA deal, as first announced by Post’s agency.
It was easy to see the move coming. After trading four players (Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson, Dennis Schröder, and Lindy Waters III) for one (Jimmy Butler), the Warriors roster sat at just 11 players, meaning they needed to add a few players into the fold. And Post, who has taken over the role of starting center, needed to have his contract converted in order to be eligible for the play-in tournament and playoff games, should the Warriors play any.
