I honestly think the league is being quite fair to the players.
With this they still get paid ~60% of their salaries, with another 19% being deferred, and 21% going to escrow (will never be seen) even though they are likely just going to play 60% of the season.
Owners could just trigger the pro-ration clause that's supposidely in the CBA and just have to pay the pro-rated portion of the salary anyways so don't see how the league is being unfair here.
