Childress was a restricted free agent, which meant the Hawks had the right to match offers from other NBA teams, but not from international clubs. Agent Lon Babby said the deal was worth about $20 million after taxes and was far more lucrative than what Childress could have received in the United States.
Seems like an interesting move. I wonder if/when he come back to the NBA if he will be a restricted or unrestricted FA?
