As players tend to do, he wanted more - so he equated "how much did each team offer me" with a willingness to win (or try to win) (or ability to win), and he also was trying to blow smoke to praise the team that offered him more.
He may have also seen himself as the added piece that would take LAL to another level. Was he? Um no.
Are you referring to the quote of him saying the Mavs are the protecting mother opposed to the Lakers as the pushing father?
I interpreted that the Lakers were the far more challenging option for him because he already knew how comfortable he is within the Mavs organization - maybe combined with the chance for a much bigger role. But now since he‘s back with his mum it‘ll be interesting to see what he has to say about it…
