Houston stations KRIV-TV and KILT radio reported Posey has not signed the offer but has approved it orally and is pleased with it.

"I think I made the best decision for myself and for my future," Posey said, not disclosing financial details. "It was more than what the Rockets put on the table."

The Rockets have 15 days to match the Memphis offer once Posey signs it if they wish to keep the 6-8, 215-pound forward. He has averaged 9.4 points, five rebounds and 1.29 steals in 319 games with Denver and Houston in a six-year NBA career.

"It's really in their court right now," Posey said of the Rockets.

Rockets spokesman Nelson Luis said the team first learned of the offer Tuesday afternoon and had no other response.
