If the NBA will not do this and I where the owner - I say KD we are not trading you and you are suspended for the first 10 games of the season without pay.
At this point the worst the Nets could do is fine KD and he would probably appeal.
The power move the Nets have is if KD says he won't play or show up then the Nets hold him to it. He doesn't earn a paycheck nor clock service time. If he does show up then he has to play (though Simmons proved that isn't technically the case). Really interesting scenario because the only loser is the Nets because no matter what KD hits their cap.
