James Posey can opt out of the final year of a four-year deal, which would pay him $6.4 million next season, but the chances of finding a better deal with another team is slim.

''We made a pact we wouldn't discuss it until the playoffs are over,'' agent Mark Bartelstein said, adding Posey must inform the Heat by Sunday. ``He would love to stay. We'll have to look at everything.''

Bartelstein confirmed one option would be opting out and trying to negotiate a long-term deal with the Heat.
