The players gave up some money- the owners should return hat good faith and lift the lockout, or atleast allow free agency to start, as soon as an agreement in principle is reached. Perhaps both sides can agree to follow 2010 fa rules until the agreement is done
An agreement in principle is maybe a week or two away at best, after that it should take maybe another 2 weeks to finalize and formalize it (not sure what you mean by the whole legal process starts then), and there wouldn't be a full training camp and pre-season. They aren't going to finalize a deal in early August let's say and then have a full off-season. They'll just abbreviate it in order to get to the start of the season in time.
