Had the Warriors chosen to extend a qualifying offer to Quiñones, he would have become a restricted free agent, with the Warriors having the right to match any offer that other teams made to Quiñones. Instead, he becomes an unrestricted free agent, with complete freedom to choose between potential suitors.

In 37 games and 10.6 minutes per game last season, Quiñones averaged 4.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assist on a 45/36/69 shooting split.
