Hawks to deal Childress to Suns
The Phoenix Suns have agreed to a sign-and-trade with the Atlanta Hawks for Josh Childress and will give him a five-year, $34 million contract, a league source told Yahoo! Sports.
The Suns will send a 2012 second-round pick to the Hawks.
The Hawks still own Childress’ rights after he signed a three-year, $20 million deal with Olympiakos of Greece in 2008. Childress, a 6-foot-8 forward, averaged 11 points and shot over 50 percent in four seasons with the Hawks.
Washington, San Antonio and Utah also pursued Childress.
The Suns will also use part of the trade exception received from New York in the sign-and-trade for Amar’e Stoudemire to make the Childress deal work.
The Arizona Republic first reported the framework of the sign-and-trade.
