Agreed, but whatever the League decides to do is going to have such far-reaching consequences that the response to different but similar issues is likely to be different. In other words, while they may decide to pay out bonuses on the basis of pro-rated season totals, it may be simply too difficult to pro-rate season figures for trade conditions. While the League may opt to honour some conditions on the basis of pro-rated totals, others are likely to be ignored. (I think the Neal/Lucic condition will not be satisfied.) I suspect that all trade conditions on the basis of playoff performances will be nullified; but by the same token, I also imagine that all deadline trades which featured draft picks will be upheld. I could imagine bonuses paid out on a pro-rated basis, but then again, how does the revenue shortfall affect revenue sharing between the League and the players?
