I think you have the leverage backwards. The owners will pay the players 1.9 Billion (after the 20% escrow) as per the CBA amendment they agreed to in July unless they can get some court to agree to void the CBA. I cannot really think of a strong legal argument that they have that would allow the league to win in court and void a binding agreement. At some point I would worry about the legitimate risk of losing in court,, fronting that type of money with no revenue coming in and hoping you can get it back through escrow between 2022 and 2026.
