Olympic participation is not the only issue heading into this round of negotiations. The players want the escrow gone and likely want to continue to make improvements on their pension plan. The only reason Olympic participation is the biggest issue being talked about is because the league thought they could get the players to agree to an extension with that one concession and made them an offer. My guess is the escrow issue>Olympic issue from the players' perspective.
