    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Miami Herald - 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.</div>

    I fully expect him to stay with the Heat.

    I doubt he would leave... I don't think he'd get more than the MLE.

    I'm sure he'll stay, he was so great for us and really helped us down the stretch, we have a great chance of repeating if the team says intact. Although we will probably lose Zo and GP they can be replaced and I'm sure Zo will somehow stay with the team in some sort of way.

    Hard to imagine he doesn't opt out of his contract. Players stock is at it's highest after they've won a Championship. The next deal he gets will probably be the last time he gets to cash in.

    I hope we re-sign Shandon, he was great all year long with his defense. I'm sure Derek will re-sign as well. I have a feeling Gary Payton will be back. I'm not so sure about Zo but he is definately fit enough to play aonther season. If we keep this team intact we could repeat as the champs.

    Karl Malone can come for a couple of weeks and teach Wade how to drive with knees high. Wade can't be guarded then lol

    Neva
    Noone replaces Zo. I'm not saying he's still a Superstar that he once was, but there's something about Zo. There're players who can put up better numbers than Zo but Noone will replace Zo, not even Shaq.
