actually just skimming through the CBA again it does look like teams are allowed to provide a condo for only 28 days.
after the 28 days the player has to move out.
I don't know the financials, but it is possible that it is just cheaper to put players in hotels than maintain condo(s) for just players in transition. and would it make sense to have that condo when in all practicality it will be mostly empty for a good chunk of the year
