Yes, Cuban was given a chance to simply match (or not) the offer by PHX, which was much more than his. The time frame was indeed 'now or never' as you say, but he did know the cost, with a chance to do the deal. He declined, probably somewhat due to feeling he deserved time to be able to negotiate and whittle on it and try to persuade, but also because he just didn't want to pay that price.
