Regardless of whether VP is pulling everyone's leg or not... there's certainly a bunch of smoke regarding Kawhi being unhappy with LA and considering leaving.
There's been reports that Nico has a good relationship with Kawhi from Kawhi's time with the Jordan Brand. Kawhi had it out with Nike over the logo and perhaps Nico was a guy with Nike who was in his corner? Just a guess.
If there is some sort of trust there with Nico, it would make some sense that if he leaves LA that Mavs are the team. He's a strange guy and we have no idea what/how he thinks... But I think there's enough evidence with his career that the aspect of trust is super important to him.
