There have been no formal negotiations as yet, but teams, the union and agents are making preparations for these vital talks. Various stakeholders who spoke to ESPN described the basics of a plan that could create a consensus in the fall. The starting point is the inverse of the “cap spike” that hit the league in 2016, the influx of new television that caused the salary cap to balloon and famously enabled the Golden State Warriors to sign Kevin Durant
Currently, 10% of players’ salaries are held in escrow during the season to balance any discrepancies between the projected and actual revenue for the year. In recent seasons, players have recouped the entire 10% escrow and even got additional payout as league revenue climbed. In 2017, that payout was $355,000 per player. One option, according to sources, would be to increase that escrow amount, perhaps to 20%, for one season. This would allow for a cash reserve at the end of the season when determining the league’s financial equilibrium
Other executives have speculated the league could institute another amnesty provision — a team would have the ability to waive a player and remove their salary from the cap while spreading out the remaining contract payment over several years — as a way to help teams with the financial crunch. Others suggest temporary relief from the current rules regarding reaching the salary floor to avoid forcing teams to spend money just to climb over it
“The truth is, things are changing so fast that, when it comes to next season, the best we can do is put a stake in the ground and make a guess,” an Eastern Conference team president said. “The reality is nobody is probably going to operate in the black next season. “The only question is how much each of us are going to lose.”

Don't forget, next season is going to be tricky for the NBA too
The NBA has a number of issues looming on the horizon for next season, even as the current season restart approaches.

Chuck shut em up with Hakeem. I don't necessarily agree with his list player for player but I agree with shaq's placement being 11-13. He ain't top 10.
Nobody at the hotels yet until they quarantine for 4 days

No fans (booeing or cheering), no cheer leaders, no live entertainment (dancers, tv shirt throwing, prize give aways etc), basically no media, no fan interaction, nothing jus hooping. I geeked.

Ignorance can be remedied. Stupidity is incurable.
Preemptive strike. I can dig it.
