Childress signs with Euro team
NBA star Josh Childress has signed with a Greek team, which is noteworthy here, since it could be the beginning of a trickle of decent players to Europe, especially while the US dollar is so poor. I'd like to think I'll look back on this post in a few years, and it will be common for elite US players to play in Europe or elsewhere, signalling that basketball really is a global sport.
Heading overseas allows Childress to make more money than he could have as a restricted free agent in the United States. The Hawks had the right to match an offer from another NBA team, but not from an international club.
