The players aren’t obligated to negotiate another CBA, they already have one. That’s why the league’s approach is somewhat baffling from a labour relations perspective. The league has to acknowledge that in these circumstances they’re going to have to give the players something to get what they want.
And it pays them 50% of HRR, which if their salaries exceed they pay back in the form of escrow, which has been negotiated to extend for a longer period of time so they don't get hit with 80% escrow in one year. All other talking points are fluff.

I'll just leave this here:
