is there something in the CBA to stop them from doing that?

CBA, article 50.5(f)(iv):

A Player who is party to a one-year SPC may not enter into an "extension" of such SPC prior to January 1 of the League Year covered by such SPC.

So you'd have to wait till January to extend the deal. By that time, the player may have upped his asking price.
