Josh Childress found a lot of cabbage today in Greece after signing a three-year $20 million deal with the Greek club team Olympiakos. Childress was a restricted agent, but an NBA team can’t match an offer made from a club overseas. This contract is now the biggest ever in Europe yet more than likely it will be topped soon because other players are going to want this pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The twist to the is story is that the Hawks were set to offer Childress close to $36 million, but in Greece Childress won’t have to pay any taxes and will be treated like an absolute king. Primoz Brezec, Carlos Delfino, Juan Carlos Navarro and Bostjan Nachbar are other NBA players that decided to play in Europe this offseason.
