Childress Ex-Hawk, Signs with European Team Olympiakos
Josh Childress, after helping the Atlanta hawks make a playoff push after an 8 year drought decided to fly away from the Hawks in order to play oversees, Childress has reportedly signed with Greek club Olympiakos for $20 Million dollars.
It is stated that in the last season in the NBA 5 players reportedly left the league to play ball in Europre. The deal offered to Childress is one of the lucrative deals in the History of European basketball, the $20 Million dollar 3 year contract, and it is said that Childress can opt out of the contract every year if he chooses to.
Wow, is this a trend in the NBA right now, one player, named Juan Carlos Navarro also opt out of his contract to rejoin his old club F.C. Barcelona. I hope top players won’t join this trend I really hate to see Josh Childress leave, I guess He wasn’t happy with the offer the Hawks gave to him.
