Rumor: Marbury to Olympiacos?

Childress out - Marbury in?

Yes, exactly! I was kind of overwhelmed to read that Olympiacos is thinking about Stephon Marury from the New York Knicks to fill the gap that Josh Childress literally ‘tore’ into the team from Athens.

As reported on eurobasket.com, Childress had surgery yesterday morning in Philadelphia to repair a tear in his adominal muscles.

He doesn't cite any source, so I am not taking this too seriously right now.

Chris Sheridan from ESPN.com: Olympiacos eyes Marbury

Representatives of the Greek club Olympiacos contacted the New York Knicks earlier in the day in an effort to begin a dialogue on what it would take to get Marbury released from his contract, sources told ESPN.

[...]

Marbury is aware of Olympiacos' interest but has had no contact with the club, according to a source close to the Knicks, who said he expected additional dialogue on the subject over the next few days.

It would be highly unusual, but not unprecedented, for a Greek club to broker a buyout between an NBA team and a player. In the summer of 2007 when the Houston Rockets acquired the rights to Luis Scola from San Antonio for Vassilis Spanoulis, the Greek guard had grown so disenchanted with the NBA that he was willing to forego the $4 million he was due to be paid. Olympiacos' rival, Panathinakos, ended up paying the Spurs an undisclosed sum to secure Spanoulis' release.
