I know there is escrow, but that doesn't seem have anticipated the magnitude of the decrease of HRR. So if HRR is down 60%, will they be able to scale player salaries down beyond what the escrow amount was (I think 15%?)

They have provisions in the extended CBA for this, the 50-50 split is not over multiple seasons with escrow being capped at a certain percentage each of the next few years. I forget all the specifics but they have planned for a really bad season for revenue.
