Both Santos and Post found consistent minutes with Golden State this past season, as Santos played more than 13 minutes per game at forward for the Warriors and Post played just over 16 minutes at center.
The Warriors selected Santos in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft before joining the G League Santa Cruz Warriors. He averaged 14.3 points per game with the developmental team during his two years there.
In 2023-24, Santos split time between Santa Cruz and Golden State before getting a full season with the NBA squad.
The 23-year-old Brazilian played 56 games with the Warriors in 2024-25 and averaged 4.1 points and 3.1 rebounds per game.
Santos will cost the Warriors about $2.2 million in 2025-26 with $225,000 being guaranteed on Sept. 25 and the entirety being guaranteed on Jan. 10, 2026, according to Spotrac.
As for the 7-foot center Post, he also was taken by the Warriors in the second round, but of the 2024 NBA Draft.
The Boston College product played 42 games for Golden State in 2024-25 and made 14 starts while averaging 8.1 points per game and 3.5 rebounds per game.
Post’s ability to stretch the floor was incredibly beneficial for the Warriors as the big man shot better than 40 percent from 3-point range.
The 25-year-old will cost the Warriors $1.9 million this upcoming season.
While the Warriors have some question marks still ahead in NBA free agency, reportedly exercising Santos and Post likely was an easy decision given the cost and the fact that both provided good minutes for coach Steve Kerr’s team last season.
