Which is probably a good sign they're not anticipating any problems with getting the next CBA done. At this point, things are cruising along well, so it will probably be minor tweaks to the CBA and no major hurdles.

They already have it. Last year's revenue was projected at $6.2 billion and this year is expected to come in around $6.6 billion. With the players' share being 50% of revenue, that's over $100 million per team on average.
This is why the players are no longer paying escrow and will likely get bonuses at the end of the season.
