I might be wrong, but I think if Grant was actually an option available to the Mavericks for what they can give up, it would’ve been done already. I think that was the true, unannounced plan A. There’s just too much smoke out there about it.

That may be and you're probably correct, but what if Nico decided to up his offer. That's always possible if he doesn't think he can get Klay.
