Quote:
Former Atlanta swingman Josh Childress has signed a three-year, $32.5 million contract with Greek powerhouse Olympiakos, rather than accepting a deal from the Hawks. Childress, 25, is the first player at this stage of his career to spurn the NBA for an international alternative.Atlanta had offered him a five-year, $33million contract. But the Hawks' slow-paced negotiating tactics and the limits of restricted free agency, combined with what Childress called Wednesday the “opportunity of a lifetime,” resulted in his decision.


@ the Hawks.

This is actually a pretty big precedent for the NBA.

Dude, there is no way on earth you'd get me to play for a college team if I was one of these cats who could jump to the NBA directly from high school.

Let me think.....go to Europe and live for a year or two experiencing a different culture, make some cash, live in luxary, play with professionals and be taught year round.......or

go to college, be used to make money for the school, have a million and 1 restrictions placed on me by the NCAA, limited hours of professional help to hone my craft, etc.......feel used some more.

Tough decision.
