In listening to EXACTLY what he said, it sounded more like he was saying (with ALL of his words in context, not just selected ones) they HAD a backup plan, but that its viability became very questionable once the Durant situation messed with the NBA landscape.
Here are his exact words from that interview that I am referring to:
"I know for a fact they have a plan they feel good about that entails losing Jalen...that may have been muddied by the Durant news...they wanted to get assets for JB, they didn't want to pay more than $22M, they knew they were probably going to lose him"
