Josh Childress is considering playing for Greek powerhouse Olympiakos who have offered him more than $20 million for three years.   Seems like things may not be going too well in Atlanta these days or this may just be a bargaining ploy.  There is some known friction between Josh Smith and Mike Woodson and Smith doesn’t appear to be happy about staying in Atlanta either.  Too bad for the Hawks, as they finally looked to be getting a nice program together.

The Celtics signed Tony Allen and Eddie House.  Both players signed 2 year contracts and are expected to make around $2million per year each.

Dwight Howard is healthy and ready to go for the Olympics.  Howard says the sternum injury has healed and he feels a little winded, but overall pretty good.  Tyson Chandler isn’t so lucky and will not be playing with the team USA due to an injured toe.

Detroit signed Will Bynum to a two year deal, with the team option for the second.  Bynum played overseas last season and will assume a backup point guard spot.  I only got to see one of his summer league games, but the guy is extremely quick and can shoot.  He reminds me a little of Rafer Alston, without the attitude. Bynum makes a nice bench player, but probably has no fantasy value.  The Pistons are also working on getting Walter Sharpe signed.

Sebastian Telfair will sign with Minnesota according to his agent, Andy Miller.  The deal could be announced today.

The Knicks have requested that Danilo Gallinari sit for the remainder of the summer which means he will not play in the European Championships.  A very smart move by an NBA team to limit the activity that these kids have to endure. 

The Warriors are believed to be interested in signing Louis Williams from the Philadelphia 76ers.  Williams is a restricted free agent, but it is believed that the Warriors could lure him away with a contract as large as 5 years, $26 million.
