97fan is exactly correct: the Hawks wanted to get something rather than nothing. The Hawks had particularly little leverage because Childress had already skipped out on them anyway (to Greece).
Cap space isn\'t really a consideration here, since Childress wasn\'t on their cap in the first place. So the Hawks get the picks and a trade exemption, which is always nice.
