The unions contract runs out this season and if something isn't signed then there will be a work stopage, in which case players would either retire or play in the minors or Europe.
Basically the owners want a strict salary cap because they have been losing a lot of money and the players union thinks that the owners are fabricating the debt and thus won't accept a salary cap
The owners probably want something like the NFL has in terms of a salary cap. Every team would have the same payroll and wouldn't be allowed to exceed it and there would be no guaranteed money in contracts, players could be cut in the middle of their contracts without getting a pay out. So basically if it went through players would take a huge paycut and have minimal job security.
