The cap is a byproduct of the revenue. The more revenue the higher the cap. The league, for the most part, is happy to see a higher cap. Means they are making more money.
What the lockout was about was revenue split between the owners and players. Prior to the lockout the owners could see as low as 43% of the revenue with 57% going towards the players' salaries. Now it's an even 50% for both sides. That's the reason there was a lockout and why it was far from BS. They're dealing with billions of dollars of revenue so those couple percentages are worth literally hundreds of millions of dollars a year for the owners.
Plus some cap circumvention stuff and other cleanup
