The Atlanta Hawks have lost forward Josh Childress, but not to another NBA team.
According to a report published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Childress said he agreed to terms Wednesday morning on a three-year contract with Olympiakos of Greece that is worth far more than $20 million initially reported.
"It's official, I just signed," Childress said by phone Wednesday morning from Athens, where he and agent Jim Tanner will be until Friday. "I think it was . . . a situation where I didn't know who to expect coming in, coming over to Athens. But it's a great city and a great organization. They do whatever they can to make you feel at home."
It's not just some NBA scrub that had already been in Europe, but an actual NBA talent. The precedence has been set. I'm interested to know the terms of the deal. 3/73M ;)
