Whether that has any merit is impossible to know without knowing what Dallas' actual offer was, but they obviously weren't outbidding Boston (even in Cuban's mind) without offering Josh and other quality pieces. It was widely assumed that Josh and Devin and perhaps Jet were part of the package, along with other pieces.
As Dirno said, I never saw it reported anywhere that the Mavs refused to part with Josh to get KG.

I highly doubt that Devin was one of the pieces. I insist that our best offer was Josh and junk.
Did that get outbid? Obviously it did. But I suspect it was our best offer.
