Josh Childress' decision to sign with the Greek team Olympiakos was primarily a financial decision -- their three-year, $32.5 million offer is (with the exchange rate and tax differential) nearly twice as much as the Hawks were willing to pay.



The Euroleague contract includes some bona fide perks, like living expenses, luxury accommodations, a chauffeur and maid service. He can also decide, each summer, whether to return to the NBA as a restricted free agent, without worrying about buy-outs. Taken as a whole, it's pretty easy to see why he accepted the offer from Greece.
