IMO that's the very same reason there may be a strike. The owners clearly want to scale back what the players get in some form. I think the current deal was a mistake for the owners from the get go & they entered into it hastily at the 11th hour.
The problem w/that now is that it's awfully hard to give someone something & then take it back w/out them objecting & that's what the owners are trying to do.
The biggest plus of this cba is that there is this early opt out in november. That gives everybody a lot of time to negotiate. Still, I won't be surprised if there's a strike as that's the only way either side can back up their stance.
