    Warriors forward Carl Landry is leaning toward opting out of the final year of his contract with Golden State and pursuing free agency, according to his agent.

    "He's worth a lot more than the contract he has and the direction (we're moving) toward is him opting out," said his agent, Mark Bartelstein. "Things can change, but that's where it's leaning."

    Landry signed a two-year, $8 million contract last summer with the second year as a player option. He has until Wednesday, the day before the NBA Draft, to decide whether to opt in to the remaining $4 million or choose to become a free agent. He is not expected to inform the Warriors until close to the deadline.

    "(The Warriors) knew it was essentially a one-year deal when he signed," Bartelstein said. "They got him at below market value."

    Warriors general manager Bob Myers agreed.

    "We didn't think we'd get Landry on the number that we did," he said Wednesday.
