Cobb Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) The Hawks are discussing a sign-and-trade that would send forward Josh Childress to Phoenix for a second-round pick and a trade exception, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed tonight. Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reported tonight that the deal is “on the verge” of completion. Childress would sign with Phoenix for six years and at least $30 million, according to the report. If Childress signs a deal for those terms, Atlanta’s trade exception would be worth half the amount of his first-year salary since he would become a base-year compensation player. The exception works as a sort of credit that would allow the Hawks to make a trade while over the salary cap without meeting the usual salary-matching requirement. Atlanta drafted Childress with the No. 6 overall pick of the 2004 draft. He played four seasons with the Hawks before opting to sign a free-agent contract with Greek team Olympiakos in 2008. He has until Thursday to opt out of the final season of that three-year, $20 million deal.AJC Edited July 12, 2010 by Cobb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWaLL Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 So much for landing Childress here in DC... Lucky for Phoenix fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YugoRocketsFan Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 This guy left to Europe as a role player but hes coming back as the 3rd option. I saw him play plenty of times (with Olympiakos) and he is much better than when he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorilla Dog Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Solid deal for both teams. The Hawks get something back instead of losing Josh for nothing and the Suns get some offense for a 2nd round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second round pick will never play and the TPE probably won't be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
