PLAYERS: Josh Childress
TEAMS: Atlanta Hawks

by Tim PovtakFiled under: Bucks, Hawks, NBA RumorsIt sounds like the Atlanta Hawks really had no interest this summer in bringing back Josh Childress to the NBA. Childress is planning this fall for a second season in Greece with Olympiakos, but it wasn't decided until earlier this week when the Hawks scuttled a possible sign-and-trade deal with Milwaukee that Childress had been pushing. "Things were close, very close. Milwaukee would have been a great situation,'' Childress said Friday evening from Los Angeles during a conference call with reporters. "Coach (Scott) Skiles made it clear that he really wanted me to be part of his team. The whole coaching staff and managements really let me know I was wanted. They saw me as a big part of their future.''Hawks Showing No Love For Childress originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Fri, 17 Jul 2009 20:20:00 EDT . Please see our terms for use of feeds.
