Bucks officials met in Milwaukee with restricted free agent Josh Childress during the past off-season, and GM John Hammond took a trip to Cleveland on Monday to watch him play for his Greek team, Olympiakos, in an exhibition against the Cavaliers.

The Atlanta Hawks retain the NBA rights to Childress, a 6-8 wing player who has an opt-out clause again next year in the three-year deal he signed with Olympiakos in 2008.
