Brooklyn Nets big man Ed Davis has expressed his desire to remain with the team beyond this season. He's found a home.

Ed Davis is currently on a one-year, $4.4 million contract, which will make him an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2019. However, the 29-year-old veteran said that he is hoping to work out a deal with the Nets in the summer that will keep him at Brooklyn long-term.

“Honestly, I think about free agency,” Davis said, via Nets Daily. “But I try to live in the moment, enjoy the season, take it one game at a time, enjoying Brooklyn, enjoying New York, instead of thinking about next year, 10 years down the line, retirement, things like that.”

“Obviously I want to be back. I said that so hopefully it works out in the summer. But my main focus is to just try to help this team and make the playoffs. Good things happen when you win and you make the playoffs — that’s just my mindset. And if we do that, everything works out.”

Davis is having an excellent season off the bench for the Nets. In 17.9 minutes per game, he is averaging 5.8 points and 8.3 rebounds while shooting a blistering 61.4 percent from the field.

The nine-year NBA veteran is currently second in the NBA in rebounding percentage and first in offensive rebounding. He has also become a very reliable rotation player while backing up Brooklyn's young and talented center Jarrett Allen.

The Nets have surprisingly been competitive this season. They are currently 16-19 and sit right outside a playoff seed in the 9th spot of the NBA's Eastern Conference under head coach Kenny Atkinson.
