Josh Childress is returning to Greece. Childress understands that his time in Atlanta is over. The reality of his situation is clear. If a deal could not get hammered out last year during his restricted free agent status, what would have made it different this year.
It is a shame that he can't get a deal done. I believe he is worth the full mid-level exception, but no one wants to pay him that kind of money. The Atlanta Hawks still own the rights to him, but have pretty much let him know that he is not in the future plans.
Childress was in Milwaukee last week in an attempt to get a sign-and-trade done. The Bucks are a team needing to fill a void at the small forward position after trading Richard Jefferson to the Spurs for cap space. Obviously the deal did not have enough compensation for the Hawks, hence Childress is on his way back to Olympiakos.
"At the end of the day it's a business," Childress said. "I was basically in the same situation last summer. Again, it's a business and you have to treat it as such."
