Hawks restricted free agent swingman Josh Childress spent Monday in Athens, Greece, not Georgia, exploring his options beyond the NBA. Childress and at least one of his agents, Jim Tanner, were in Greece to visit officials from European power Olympiakos and discuss the possibility of Childress playing the upcoming season there rather than with the Hawks or any other NBA team.

Childress is a perfect fit for the Greek League. He big on backdoor plays.

Childress is the same age as me.. Id have to say, if my company offered me to go overseas and would pay me more, id definitely consider it.. It's a life experience that anyone should consider..

I agree fully with TuroksDad. It's definitely something I would consider with all the money involved.
