The players have consistently claimed they are in the dark about these negotiations, and that fault lays in their leadership.

Now, the owners have approved a solution that contains the framework that the players leadership has been negotiation day in day out, and if they can't accept it, then I don't see why the owners would ever expect that a final deal could be reached.

True. Fault also lies in the judge who issued the gag order, so that everyone on both sides who was not in the room has to play catch-up now.
