Baron Davis surprisingly opted out of the final year of his contract with the Golden State Warriors on Monday, becoming an unrestricted free agent in the process, the Associated Press is reporting.

Davis gave up $17.8 million for 2008-09, and may still return to the Warriors next season. He could also orchestrate a sign and trade to another team.

Golden State also failed to improve its roster by using its $10 million trade exception this summer. The exception, which was acquired when the Warriors traded Jason Richardson to Charlotte last June, was due to expire on Monday night.
