Josh Childress is in Paris this week as his Greek team, Olympiacos, is playing in the EuroLeague Final Four. The Atlanta Hawks still own his rights and he was asked yesterday about coming back to the NBA next season. He has a window that allows him to get out of his contract with Olympiacos. "I'll decide by July 15," he told a reporter for The Washington Post. "But right now, I have a lot to accomplish still -- this tournament, and then the rest of the season in the Greek league. ... Listen -- it's been an excellent two years. It's been a growing experience, yes, but I never saw this as a temporary fix. I thought of it as a three-year deal, and it could very well end that way." Childress, who is in the second year of a $20 million three-year contract with his Greek club, will remain a restricted free agent as long as the Hawks tender him a qualifying offer prior to July 1.
