I think they will suspend for now, if it takes more than a month or so to get things cleared up, I think that they'll just have to cancel the season. Shortening the offseason is likely not an acceptable solution.

The best answer is "maybe". The CBA tries to set the cap based on the previous year's HRR, but it also anticipates significant unexpected changes in revenue. The league and union could agree that the revenue drop this year is not likely to be repeated and maintain the cap on the belief fans will come back in the fall. In fact, thanks to contract situations, they almost have to do that - even if they expect much higher escrow as a result.
