It was never clear whether that was due to mis-trust of the organization or just a legitimate concern about the power structure.Bret LaGreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000566742639583055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-62888144343276919242010-05-13T17:39:07.407-04:002010-05-13T17:39:07.407-04:00I thought Childress didn't want to play for Mi...I thought Childress didn't want to play for Mike Woodson, rather than the Hawks generally.<br /><br />I'd love to see him back starting, but paying Marvin $7 million-ish a year to sit on the bench wouldn't be a prudent use of Spirit's rather limited financial resources.<br /><br />But Duck butt does need to hit the bench pronto.jrauchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064708627368143691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-50031830010766453662010-05-13T12:55:03.500-04:002010-05-13T12:55:03.500-04:00I think the discussion tends toward the sign-and-t...I think the discussion tends toward the sign-and-trade because the default assumption is that Childress still does not wish to play for the Hawks.Bret LaGreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000566742639583055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-85558581741144107782010-05-13T12:45:16.216-04:002010-05-13T12:45:16.216-04:00Seems like the discussion of Childress invariably ...Seems like the discussion of Childress invariably moves to the merits of the sign-and-trade... but don't the Hawks get better by putting him in the starting lineup and moving Marvin to the bench?
