Ed Davis will opt out of his contract for the 15-16 season with the Los Angeles Lakers to test free agency.

"I'm going to test free agency," Davis told The Times in a telephone interview. "Hopefully I'm back with the Lakers, as long as everything is equal with all the other teams."

The Lakers signed Davis last summer to a two-year, $2.1-million minimum contract. 

Davis had a productive season for the Lakers.

"This is where I want to call home," said Davis.  "The city, the coaching staff, the owners, the [general manager], everything like that -- I'm definitely comfortable."

"I look at Coach [Byron] Scott.  He's always been a straight shooter with me since day one.  If he says something, he means it. I think [General Manager] Mitch Kupchak is the same way.  They don't just tell guys things they want to hear, but tell the truth and you know exactly how they feel."
