The 2013 lockout didn't need compliance buyouts as much as 2005, but I guess they were justified because the players' share of HRR wa
I don't know if there are likely to be any changes in the next CBA that will justify offering compliance buyouts. The players are unlikely to want them again because although the money doesn't count against the cap, it still counts as part of the players' share of revenue.
Yeah but the buyouts are for 2/3s of the total value of the contracts.
So if the owners buy out 100 million dollars worth of contracts at 66 million that frees up 33 million to be spent on new contracts plus more capspace doesn't it?
That benefits the majority of the player base and seeing as how 18 teams used compliance buyouts last time around the majority of teams would likely be alright with it this time as well.
I'm not sure what other justification they need beyond both sides agreeing to buyouts. If agreement is all the justification required, I see compliance buyouts as a probable outcome.

I don't think players think that way. They don't want anyone to be bought out. They don't think about how one player being bought out lets another player sign for more. They think about how the owners get out of a contract they signed, for less money.
