I got off my butt and found it:

Quote:
According to several sources, the league submitted two proposals. The first asked for changes solely to the upcoming season. Deferred compensation went to 20 per cent; escrow to 25. There were no other alterations.
The second asked for deferred compensation to be raised to 26 per cent for next season. Escrow was not touched until years four-to-six of the CBA, rising from six per cent to between 8.5 and nine.

Unclear if there would be any further proration.
Still, it boils down to whether you think the league actually frittered away the linkage that they fought so hard to acquire (at the cost of a full season), or if they gave the players a big win in the form of a loan based on general principle of maintaining 50/50 linkage. Perhaps they needed a few more 'will negotiate in good faith' statements in the MOU, but they still hold the hammer here so it doesn't ultimately matter.
As it stands, the players would make 80% - 10% additional deferral to play ~73% of a season. It's pretty hard to see that as a realistic/reasonable outcome given the current circumstances.
