To my knowledge the league’s demands are not connected to proration based on a specific number of games. As far as I’m aware at the time of both the CBA extension and the league proposing this amendment, the league’s plan was to have an 82 game season.

Without knowing the owners specific demands it’s hard to say, but it’s possible the players are the ones backing out of the deal as signed

The owners’ new demands for increasing both the salary deferral and caps on escrow are well documented and a pretty big departure from the numbers agreed to in the MOU. The players are wanting the deal they originally agreed to do I’m not sure how anyone could argue they are the ones backing out of it.
