Instead, as Bobcats forward Corey Maggette put it, it's "back to the drawing board." And straight to the unemployment line. "Now guys have to make a decision about playing elsewhere, maintaining a living and all that," said Maggette, who was among the many who had been encouraged by the tenor of last week's talks. "As of right now, everyone is unemployed. You have to re-evaluate [your situation]. At the end of the day, you're unemployed right now and you have to do a job in order to feed your families or whatever. "I'm not saying guys don't have money or that they're not saving their money the right way, but ultimately -- if you get fired or you have to find yourself another job -- you've got to put out another résumé and pull another gig."

On Tuesday, Maggette wasn't feeling the same way. "We just took eight steps back," he said. "Someone needs to compromise," Maggette said. "The owners have to compromise. "We need to have revenue sharing with the teams that are not making money. That's important. I play[ed] for one of the teams that's one of the worst [in revenues], Milwaukee. We've got to have [sharing] with guys like the Lakers and the big-name teams that's making tons and tons of money. Donald Sterling's another guy that makes money even if he loses. We need to figure out a way to get that going." ESPN.com

Corey Maggette was traveling to Chicago for a friend's wedding when he received the news that he had been traded to the Charlotte Bobcats. He had just fallen asleep on his Virgin America flight when his friend came from across the plane to wake him up and tell him about the deal. Because details were still emerging and Maggette couldn't call anyone to verify what was happening, he sat on the plane wondering who else was being moved. He didn't learn about the involvement of other players or a third-team, the Sacramento Kings, until his flight landed. HoopsWorld

"I heard that there had probably been a trade," Maggette said. "When I heard that it was to Charlotte, I actually didn't even know that Stephen Jackson was traded. I was really happy about going to Charlotte and then playing with Jack again as well. Then, when I landed, I found out that Jack was traded, but I was still really looking forward to the great opportunity with the guys that we have." HoopsWorld
