Atlanta Hawks fans won’t have to fret over the fate of restricted free agent swingman Josh Childress anymore.
That’s because Childress is no longer a Hawk. He said he agreed to terms Wednesday morning on a three-year contract with Olympiakos of Greece that is worth far more than $20 million initially reported.
“It’s official, I just signed,” Childress said by phone Wednesday morning from Athens, where he and agent Jim Tanner will be until Friday. “I think it was . . . a situation where I didn’t know who to expect coming in, coming over to Athens. But it’s a great city and a great organization. They do whatever they can to make you feel at home.”
The deal is the most lucrative current contract in European basketball and the biggest in Euroleague history.Â
