Atlanta Hawk's Josh Childress considering Olympiakos

[damelo]

Already quite interesting to see promising US players, already established in NBA, but not happy with his team signing with a good EL team. We'll see then what will happen, but, I think that Oly may be really dangerous next year with that type of players.

Ben Gordon and/or Luol Deng could be next. They're in the exact same situation as Childress...no one has the cap space to make them big offers, and they're not getting what they want from Chicago. I'd say Gordon is the more likely of the 2 to leave...Chicago still thinks Deng is their future.

[JGX]

Report from Atlanta indicates that the contract is for "far more than the $20 million initially reported".

ehm... there is a rumour (i repeat rumour) that oly is thinking of making an offer to gordon, to replace lynn greer

ward, seibutis is out i think, and greer won't play at pg even for a single minute under yiannakis, only sg
I hope we're gonna be at F4, even though they'll need time to make it work.
The new signings are great, and for once good choices thanks to yiannakis, but 6 new players in the rotation is a lot of work to do to make a team out of them.

[rchos7]

wardjdim seibutis will leave the team propably on loan.
milosevic will be the third play maker.also halperin and greer can help there.

pg: teodosic papaloukas milosevic
sg: halperin greer pelekanos
sf: childress vasilopoulos
pf: erceg bourousis printezis
c: vujcic sofo vougioukas

in the roster there will also be karathanasis.

Congrats Oly! If somebody have any pictures about todays official confferance please copy those to this topic. I feel great thinking about all NBA faces down Europe time

[AiwiTo]

great signings this summer by Olympiacos, erceg vujcic papaloukas halperin pelekanos, and now Childress. yannakis will have much work to make a team from this great players.
To wardjdim:
should not be Macijauskas instead of Seibutis? he should have a contract yet, and if it is true, it will be very interesting to see how yannakis will divide time to papaloukas/greer/halperin/macijauskas. four best-class starting 5 players.

Dont forget Macijauskas.He has 2 years more contract with OLY.

Thank for Photos i m happy crazy with thease!!

[rchos7]

mace will leave from the team as soon as they agree how much money he will take in order to do so.now he is asking all the 2 years that remain.that's 4.4 mil uros.oly will not let him go giving him all that money but they will keep him without counting him.it is very difficult to see him in reds of oly again.



here are pictures of josh at his presentation.



the pictures of reignman are from halivourgikis office where he signed his contract.

any official word yet on the contract? Atlanta newspaper said "far more" than the 20 mil originally reported
