I don't know why, but I love that Childress did this. It shows the NBA that it's not the only game in town. Losing players to the foreign market seems to becoming a trend this offseason, and Childress is the first significant player to choose this route. I hope this move makes the commish real nervous, because in future free agency periods it could become all the rage. No longer will players be heading overseas at the twilight of their careers, but in their prime. This could be terrible for the NBA, but after the Seattle Thunder moved to OKC, the NBA could use a little bad karma. Thunder? What a terrible teamname, seriously.
PF is from the Northwest. I'm a huge fan of the Seahawks, Mariners, and Trail Blazers! If you don't root for your teams, even when they're losing or re-building, you are not a true fan.
