Looks like in addition to a 17th regular season game, the league wants to add a 7th playoff team per conference, giving only the #1 seeds a 1st round bye. In the proposed new CBA, the players' share of revenue would rise from the current 47% to 48% without an extra regular season game, and to 48.5% if and when the 17th game is added. (The expanded playoffs would go into effect this fall).
