I don't disagree with your premise and think the players should absolutely be using their leverage. But strictly from a contractual sense, the teams are living up to their obligations while players are reneging on theirs. Every player who signs knows exactly what he's guaranteed and how it's structured. But now players are threatening mutiny and to effectively breach the contract if their demands aren't met. They're not equivalent.
