As I said, "Any player who signed a contract based on the current 16-game schedule [...] would see their game salary capped at $250,000 in the new CBA." Many players' 16-game contracts are at more than $250,000 per game.
You’re acting like the regular season is the only period of time when these players work for their employers. That’s not the case at all, as I’ve demonstrated on this thread. They are contractually obligated to show up for training camp even though they are not paid under the terms of their contracts.
