I guess they are worried that it could be used as a way to force players out.

It is a hard one. If they go with a 30% cut across the board, the lower earners are hurt more. If they did cuts that get higher the more you earn, like the ANBL did, the higher earners will opt out and leave the league (or sign for other clubs that have the cap space available to pay them what they feel they are worth)
