How they can end the lockout NOW

We all know that both sides in this lockout know that we can't lose a season.  The entire media is speculating that there is no way we could lose the season given the progress of the last few days.  But that notion is made possible by logic, and logic has not been used throughout this process.

The CBA term length has finally been decided.  The contract length cap has finally been decided.  They have finally decided on a 50/50 revenue split.  Pensions have finally been settled.  The only hurdle that seems to remain is the salary cap.  The owners want it to be 60 million dollars, but the players want it to be 65 million dollars.  Really makes you wonder how these people got in charge of a sport.

Logic would dictate a compromise, having the cap be 62.5 million dollars.  But logic hasn't been used throughout this lockout, so why would they use it now?
