Except the chorus of collusion accusations (legit or otherwise) that will be flung from the mouths of every agent and player who doesn't get the deal the wanted.
Why not just lock out the players a year early then and force them to negotiate before the old CBA even expires? There's nothing that prevents a new agreement from being drafted to superceed the old one before it ends.
Both sides will draw it out so each can blame the other for not negotiating in good faith before striking\locking out.
