Report: Warriors signing Post to two-way deal, waiving Plowden originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

With Warriors training camp right around the corner, the team reportedly is making moves.

Golden State is signing rookie center Quinten Post to a two-way contract and will waive NBA Summer League standout Daeqwon Plowden to make room, The Athletic’s Anthony Slater reported Tuesday, citing a source.

The Warriors are signing Quinten Post (52nd pick) to a two-way contract ahead of training camp, per source. He’s a stretch center. To make room, they’re waiving Daeqwon Plowden. They still intend to bring Plowden to camp to compete for a two-way spot.

The Warriors acquired Post during 2024 NBA Draft, seemingly sending the No. 52 pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder to acquire veteran guard Lindy Waters III. But Golden State re-acquired the selection to add Post.

The 24-year-old missed Golden State’s first seven Summer League games with a lower leg injury but then made a strong impression in his debut, contributing to a 90-83 victory over the Thunder with 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field, including 2 of 4 from distance, with three rebounds, one assist, one steal and a plus-5 rating across 14 minutes.

One source told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Dalton Johnson that Post is “an exciting developmental guy.”
