The last reason isn't a bad one. It shows the team made an effort and it is Maggs that isn't currently interested, not the team stiffing him.
As for deferred money, I'm sorry, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for a guy who is getting 14 million a year and might have to wait for 7 million of it. I understand about lost interest and all that, but when you have cash like that coming in, I don't know, I just can't side with a player on that. Maybe it's wrong, but it's how I feel.
