The players are right to not make another offer. Here's been my interpretation of the negotiations:
Players are under contract at $53
League says: $20
Players say: How about $50?
League says: $20
Players say: How about $49?
League says: $20
If you were negotiating, would you keep making offers if you're the players? Owners haven't been negotiating in good faith, so I don't expect the players to make another offer anytime soon.
