Back to 2008: Billy Knight, who drafted Childress with the number six pick in June 2004, resigned as general manager after a series of Boston. He was replaced by Rick Sand, who knew how Childress Hawk only from what he saw on TV / movies, and saw that Sund is not necessarily that we Atlantans have seen.
Many of us here believes Childress was to replace the first rank - a kind of high octane pool every good team needs. Childress has been stellar against Celtics, you remember.Sund saw a guy who could not shoot. He wanted to keep Childress, but not at any price. Since the sixth man to turn the growth of the NBA team with Olympiacos.
Simply put, Childress considered himself more important than the Hawks new GM did. (And I, too, although I give credit to search for Sund Flip Murray and Mo Evans in the summer to help offset the losses.) Given that Sund still here, the chances of returning to Childress Hawks have never been good. They looked at him as part of the negotiations, if they looked at him at all, and preliminary details of the sign and trade, it would seem to have it.
Hawks will not receive a player in return. They would get, Cunningham reports, the choice of the second round of the draft and trade exception, that the salary cap credit for a future transaction. Which would mean that they did not get anything when Childress left for Greece, and they will not get out of the flesh and blood of a player after his return.
