There's going to have to be some kind of grandfather clause for this reason.  Teams would have to disassemble too much to take that kind of hit to the salary structure immediately.  Owners aren't going to want to see all their teams turn to  simultaneously, when they're trying to win fans back from a lock-out.  They seem kind of tone deaf, with these continued threats in the media - "we're going to cancel another 2 weeks worth of games", "we're going to cancel Christmas (literally!)", "we might have to cancel all the way to January - those players had better agree by Wednesday, or we're going to lose more games".

It's funny, but there doesn't seem to be any outcry among the fans.  In fact, the silent indifference is deafening.  The owners should be listening the lack of fan interest in whether the season starts now or in January.  None of it matters until about April or May, anyway.  The season is way too long, and the players travel too much. It's a mediocre product, and they're about to make it worse - on purpose.  Mind boggling.
