loup Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Astounding A young NBA player has left for Europe, not since Danny Ferry has this happened., correct me if I'm wrong. This team should be the favourites for the European championship - no doubt Childress is a player with a hell of a lot of talent who has had mediocre success in the NBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 This must be a new record.Olympiakos managed to get a young american player from the NBA and in a way create a new road that in the future Euroleague players can get starts from.We have seen before european players leaving the NBA to come bak to Europe,or older players trying to make buck but never such young talented player. Atlanta Hawks GM Rick Sud News release: http://www.nba.com/hawks/news/Sund_Stateme...ess_072308.html An article from the ESPN website about it: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3501488 and an inside deep look on the whole story by espn insider John Holinger: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/stor...ge=Hawks-080723 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loup Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Wow I didnt know about the other 4 guys leaving Of course they are not Americans but they all could have found good deals in the NBA Navarro had a very good first year in the league and the other 3 are decent players, especially the big men Papaloukas Childress Pelakanos Vujcic huge offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxiotis7 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Josh Childress, WOW! First Nba player in his prime to come to europe. This is really good for the future of the euroleague too. Now the big Nba ers may consider a move to europe if the offer is right. I bet you you will see some spanish or italien teams trying to buy some nba ers in there prime. The euroleague wil get better and better. OLYMPIAKOS for the league, the title and euro league!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
