Looking back on the history of lockouts in the big four North American leagues, whenever labor disputes led to the cancellation of an entire season, both involving parties recovered their senses quickly due to the heavy losses and began to understand each other.

Because, the loss of one season is already massive enough.

No league can afford the risk of locking out for two seasons.

Therefore, in order to get the league back up and running as soon as possible, both sides are willing to make compromises within their capabilities to reach a new consensus as quickly as they can.

Now, the owners have realized that the players will never accept a 47% revenue sharing quota, so continuing to insist on it will only widen the gap between both parties.

Derrick Fisher has already stepped down, he was the biggest dove in the players' camp, and his resignation successfully made the employers realize the bottom line of the labor side.
