The Golden State Warriors tendered qualifying offers ahead of Monday’s deadline to center Quinten Post and guards Nico Mannion and Taran Armstrong, according to RealGM’s transaction log.
Post, 26, has logged 109 games (49 starts) across his first two NBA seasons, averaging 7.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 16.9 minutes. His qualifying offer projects at $2.65 million, making him a restricted free agent. Mannion, whose last NBA action came in 2021, and Armstrong, who played overseas last season, each received two-way qualifying offers, allowing Golden State to keep their NBA rights while they remain abroad.
League-wide Qualifying-Offer Updates
New York Knicks: The club declined to extend a qualifying offer to center Ariel Hukporti, ESPN’s Vincent Goodwill reported. Hukporti, who averaged 2.2 points and 2.9 rebounds over 54 games in 2025-26, will enter unrestricted free agency, though New York could still negotiate a new deal.
San Antonio Spurs: Two-way players Harrison Ingram and David Jones Garcia received qualifying offers, Spotrac’s Keith Smith noted. Jones Garcia’s offer equals another one-year two-way contract with roughly $91,000 guaranteed, while Ingram’s is a standard one-year minimum deal carrying a partial guarantee of just over $109,000.
Oklahoma City Thunder: Guard Brooks Barnhizer was issued a two-way qualifying offer ahead of his sophomore season. The 2025 second-round pick averaged 1.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 8.7 minutes across 40 games as a rookie.
Boston Celtics: The team declined qualifying offers for Max Shulga and John Tonje, making both unrestricted free agents. Selected late in the second round last year, each split time between Boston’s standard roster and a two-way slot but saw limited NBA action.
