Josh Childress Returns to Visit Bucks

Found July 02, 2009 on FanHouse:
PLAYERS: Josh Childress
TEAMS: Atlanta Hawks,  Milwaukee Bucks

by Tom ZillerFiled under: Bucks, Hawks, Euroleague, NBA RumorsThere were various reasons to believe Josh Childress might be spending only one season in Greece. The forward, who signed with Olympiakos last summer after reaching an impasse with the rights-holding Hawks, is a quality player who belongs in the best league in the world, the NBA. He reportedly got the yips when the Greek league championship game fell victim to an assault of explosives thrown by fans. And all told, he didn't really set Europe on fire as hoped.So that Childress is back in America talking turkey is not a big surprise. But the particular team he will first visit with -- the Milwaukee Bucks -- registers as a stunner.Josh Childress Returns to Visit Bucks originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:20:00 EDT .
