Well, the top franchises (from an earnings perspective) can easily weather the storm of a lockout season.

The bottom feeders... I don't know if they can. Not well, certainly.

Makes me wonder if this is a mechanism to force out some of the less value-adding owners... get them to sell, have guys who are a little more hard-core about marketing and maximizing value....

There are enough incompetent ownerships in the league who struggle making money, and those clowns would welcome a lockout. They will still get the TV revenue in the event of a lockout and they can just put their operations in 'sleep' mode and count the money. The bottom feeders are actually the ones who will benefit more.
That crowd is so cheap that they had to let the Players Association bring suit to keep revenue sharing as is during an uncapped year, even though they had the most to lose.
