Josh Childress weighing Greek offer (http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=436648)

The Sporting Blog: Childress latest to turn Euro
Free agent forward Josh Childress is weighing a three-year, $20 million offer from Olympiakos, a Greek basketball team, according to an online report.
Jim Tanner, Childress' agent, told SN's Sean Deveney, "He is definitely considering it. We're here now."
Yahoo is reporting Childress flew to Greece late on Sunday to visit with Olympiakos officials because he is "so flustered with the Hawks' refusal to make a sign-and-trade deal."
"Unless he just gets there and doesn't like it at all, I think he's going to go," a league source told Yahoo. A source also told the site that there's a "better than 50-50 chance" he'll sign with the Greek team and spurn the NBA.
Only the Grizzlies have more than a mid-level exception available and their lack of activity on the free-agent market makes it clear they will not be spending on Childress or any other significant remaining free agents.
As part of a dynamic, young core for the Hawks, Childress averaged 11.8 points and 4.9 rebounds during the 2007-08 season.
Reports in Greece say he already accepted. Damn...crazy shit.

he's restricted?
-
Good shit.. Euro leagues don't get proper recognition... niggas rather get a bum ass deal for some bum ass NBA team over trice the money for a league-leading euro team
-
I never really expected a guy who is an important part of an NBA team to go to Europe, this would be real interesting. If he does, do you think anybody will follow suit? The story I saw said that he could return to the NBA either of the next 2 summers if he signs, so maybe his value can increase or he will just have the freedom of being an unrestricted free agent.
-
once again lol, how can he sign this? can't ATL match?
-
wow..so atlanta is jsut fallin apart....did they loose josh smith yet or wats goin on with that
-

I guess they don't want to. I mean, I don't blame them...That's almost 7 mill per year. Childress is an MLE guy, at best.

This is the latest trade...Brandon Jennings is skipping college to play overseas. He woulda' been a lottery pick coming straight out of high school.

there's nothing wrong with earning a college education
theoretically Stern should've made it 2 years (a la getting a 2 year degree to fall back on)
but we all know the flaw with the system: the kids just take easy-ass classes and teachers let them pass for nothing....
that's a society problem though.

I can't BELIEVE ATL is gonna let him walk
fuck us man lol we needed 2 keep em

Childress leaves Hawks for Greece
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece -- Atlanta Hawks guard Josh Childress signed with Greek club Olympiakos on Wednesday.
Olympiakos announced the three-year deal -- worth a reported US$20 million.
"It's official. I've signed. I was in a situation that I really didn't know what my answer would be when I got to Athens," Childress said. "But it's a great city and a great team, and they did everything to make me feel at home."
Olympiakos finished runner-up in the Greek basketball league last year, behind rival Panathinaikos, but has boosted its roster with summer transfers -- including Greece star Theodoros Papaloukas, who was signed from CSKA Moscow.

not really. its a student problem. the student makes the ultimate decision to take his education seriously or not.

The $20 mil are after taxes. The actual amount is $32.5 mil. Try to get that in the NBA when you are in that situation... no chance.

Haha, the quoting got messed up, but you see the point. The Warriors play in Oakland, and while it's close to San Francisco, it's not the same. Back to the original point, I'm interested to see how Childress does over there, and if more players go over there.

why dont you come to Greece and see for yourself fag. The only gay people we have are in an island called mykonos and they are american and northern europeans mostly british.
And as for ancient Greeks they were just horny mofos fucking anybody around and some fags happened to be in our spot(Romans, Persians etc).
Wikipedia is full of shit and anyone can post stupid crap up there.
Your fucking language is based on greek. You got 36000 words from greece.
We whiped your ass in the bball world championship.
Greece gay ??? Keep your bitter and angry thoughts to yourself bitch.
